Much respect for @fryrsquared.bsky.social but I'm not convinced English Lang / Lit GCSE is a good analogy. Fair bit of hate out there for the nebulous nature of GCSE Lang.
Science has been struggling with this question for whole of the C21st. Might be a better comparator.

A slide showing different examples of making questions more engaging by re-wording the instructions for the task. For example, instead of "calculate the following", ask "which of these have the same answer?"
A slight change of wording is a quick win to ask more engaging questions.
Here are a few simple examples.
Just cannot believe how Stormzy is now.
And I get to see him on Sunday in his new home!!!
I don't share all the dogs we find.
I haven't share this elderly girl that was hit by a truck a month ago. Simply because it was too sad and I didn't think she'd make it. Nobody needs to see that.

One of the first signs of spring is the sleepy emergence of Mr Simon from his burrow, where he has been hibernating through the winter months.
Soon his territorial song will be drifting through the park, hoping to keep other ice cream vans away.
I've just updated my topic analysis tool. Not only does it highlight key topics that have appeared since 2022, it also shows the grade distribution over the years. Hopefully useful to share with Y11s.

Mathematical Miscellany #101
A compilation of mathematical goodies! It is so important that students check answers for reasonableness, yet they frequently don't. Examiners frequently report that students lose "easy" marks by providing answers that are physically or mathematically impossible.…
