A blank parametric equations worksheet displayed as a table. Columns are titled: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows contain given parametric pairs such as x = 3 – t, y = –4 + 3t; x = 3t², y = 6t; x = 4 cos t, y = 2 sin t; x = 1 + 2 cos t, y = 3 + 2 sin t; and x = e²ᵗ, y = e³ᵗ, with remaining columns left blank for students to complete

second blank parametric equations worksheet in table format. Columns match the first sheet: x = p(t), y = q(t), Cartesian Equation f(x,y), Intersection with axes, Constraint on t, Domain, Range, and Sketch. Five rows include parametric definitions such as x = t² – 1, y = t(t² – 1); x = 3 cos 2t, y = 2 cos t; x = 1 + 2t², y = –3 + 4t; x = ln(t – 2), y = 1/(t + 1) with t > 3; and x = cot t, y = 3 sin t for 0 ≤ t ≤ π, with other columns empty for completion.

A new A level task.
Really enjoyed watching the students think about this one:

A grid of 16 practice questions involving generating difference types of sequences from their nth term.

A strip of practice questions involving recurrence relations - generating sequences, writing recurrence formulae and solving problems.

A strip of practice questions involving solving problems with quadratic sequences, including deciding whether numbers belong to sequences, finding nth term rules given some of the terms, and finding nth term rules for harder sequences.

A strip of practice questions involving solving problems with arithmetic sequences, including finding nth term rules given some of the terms, arithmetic sequences with algebra, and solving worded problems.

Lots of new sequences resources added to the site today:
✨Problems with arithmetic sequences
✨Problems with quadratic sequences
✨Recurrence relations
✨Generating different types of sequences

Inline with @mathsjem.bsky.social post on book layout, I've been trialing my ✨NEW✨ book structure tool.

No more split attention between listening, copying, and thinking. Everything weaker students need. One place. Full focus. Better learning.

In case you missed it!

Ooh, where do you get A4+ squared books with margins? I didn't know they existed.

Exponentials and logarithms revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.

Line and circle geometry revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.

Algebraic methods revision practice grid. Contains nine exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.

Quadratics revision practice grid. Contains eight exam-style questions to aid students with A-level Maths revision.

I've added a new section to the site today - A-level Revision. Over the next few months I hope to add to the revision resources, starting with four A-level grids - algebraic methods, quadratics, exponentials and logs, and circle geometry.

Particularly useful with the recent changes in Oxford and Cambridge requirements and also discusses lower tariff universities as mentioned in @mathsjem.bsky.social's blog this week.

@mathspadnicola.bsky.social @mathspadjames.bsky.social nailing it again. I requested an addition to their website and a few days later, there it is. Incredible.

Hat tips 🎩! Thanks to @acutelearning.bsky.social @jim-hardy.bsky.social @dalechapman.bsky.social @draustinmaths.com @mathspadnicola.bsky.social @mathspadjames.bsky.social

Thank you! That’s helpful. I’ll keep an eye on it, and train prices.

Lovely to be featured in @mathsjem.bsky.social latest Gems post.

Great Harris Inset today. I attended sessions on Casio CG100, A level marking and university entrance tests. All very helpful. Then I went out for drinks with my lovely team. I’m very pleased half term is here! I plan to catch up on a lot of sleep. 💤

Found out in #MathsToday that Cambridge have announced that they will now use both the TMUA *and* STEP for entry to the Mathematical Tripos from 2027 which follows Oxford’s decision to swap MAT for TMUA last month. #ALevelMaths teachers take note, source here: www.christs.cam.ac.uk/study-here/u...

GCSE maths anxiety is rising, and teachers are feeling the pressure too. Maths Revolution shares simple, steady approaches that help students build confidence and stick with it. A reassuring read for anyone teaching GCSE this term.

Really glad it’s helpful!

2/2 we encourage them to take them for revision). By leaving books at school they stay in good condition and never get lost. All our homework is on Sparx so they don’t need their book for hw (we do give them a little homework book that they keep at home for their Sparx).

We don’t have lockers. The only subjects who send books home are Spanish and science and I wish they didn’t - they are heavy for my daughters to carry around all day! Our students leave their maths books in the classroom (though they can take it if they prefer, and when exams are coming up 1/2

Really glad it’s helpful! We had fun filming it this morning - the cleaner walked in halfway through and probably thought we were crazy. 🤪
