What never seems to get a mention in such conversations is the importance of creating a mark scheme that will ensure consistency of marking

Gareth Shadick @garethshadick.bsky.social · Jul 3

Very much looking forward to this content

I don't think much has changed in that respect in the last 20 years. It is just now much more visible to those on the edges and outside of this world.

What a shame to read such an unnecessarily dismissive comment from someone whose work I value so highly. It isn't gaming the system, it IS the system. Criticise the system, not the hardworking teachers doing everything they can for the children they teach.

When I've looked at this before I have come to the conclusion that the definition of a trapezium is not consistent in terms of whether it is only "exactly" one pair of parallel sides or not

My thinking was... if that's 1/4 then that's 1/20 so that's 1/10

Interesting comparison. I'm thinking about how that compares to the daily cost, including on-costs, of an employed teacher at the top of the pay scale. My conclusion - not favourably.

Maths teachers assemble! 👏 How are you saying cm² out loud? What do you ACTUALLY say? Reposts welcome #mathstoday

'Square centimetres' and I make a little bit of a deal of it, not a massive deal, just a bit, aiming to ensure there is a good understanding of the potential ambiguity. I think it is a bigger deal than most give credit for. It causes problems in the real world, for some.

The word doc versions on the emporium are this aren't they? (I haven't actually looked myself recently)

Useful extracts from the general guidance at the front of every Pearson mark scheme...

I love seeing this supportive and collaborative community growing each year. Might be an even bigger group in East Kent next week. And last week I worked with a group of ten maths leads from special schools and APs.

Spending today with a dozen maths leaders in Andrew Woods safe hands for the first day of Kent & Medway Maths Hub Secondary Subject Leadership Community (West Kent). Big thank you to Maplesden Noakes School in Maidstone for hosting us today.
