Currently in a casio webinar. Looks like they've actually listened. The new calculators have solved so many of my issues with the previous ones!

Do the notional component boundaries (by paper) need to sum to the overall boundaries? I make AQA foundation 160 for a 4 based on components but it is 158 overall?

These unit sheets are so versatile. I’ve done them with the Edexcel SoW. Set them as a cover lesson with the guiding video, use them in class as a lesson or set them as homework. Perfect for KS4. www.hannahkettlemaths.co.uk/cover

I am happy to analyse the GCSE papers in the coming week and suggest key topics for paper 2/3. This will depend entirely on if I can get eyes on a paper so no promises. Given the very short period between each paper, it might not happen. If you know you will have access to a script early, DM me.

My daughter is doing her Sparx and she just spotted the Chrome now offers in-built AI homework cheating (see button at the top right - takes you straight to AI tools that answer the question for you). FFS.

Barely a day into the new academic year and the "predicted paper" marketing is already in full swing. Advise your students accordingly!

Did you know I've been working on A-level content? I've managed to cover all of year 1 statistics now including in depth videos (a little over 6 hours worth), exam questions and solutions on each topic (117 full exam questions in total). All free, of course.
