Here's a word cloud of all the words from AQA H P1 to 3 from the June 2025 papers. Which words are your students unsure of? It was useful to display for Y11 this afternoon, then dig into the definitions.

Here's some resources to help:

I think it is so important to have an escape in this job. For me, I love my Tuesday nights taking part in @gozwift.bsky.social racing league. My team won this season and I got the final win in a photo finish 🏆🥵🤢🤮 #cycling

I've spent this morning refining the logic around how you add your timetable to the system. Hopefully it's a lot smoother now 😁

I'll share a few things I've been working on later this week that help refine my day-to-day workflow.

While preparing lessons for tomorrow using the exam builder, I noticed illegal characters in the question set I was using that could have prevented a download. If this happened to you too, apologies! Hopefully fixed now.

I'm rolling out more child friendly success criteria in the Lesson Curator (when using the pair examples) and Cover Notes tools:

🔗 Lesson Curator:

🔗 Cover notes:
mathswhiteboard.com/MWB/coverwor...

Hopefully this makes takes more accessible for weaker groups.

Should now be better when two to a page

‪Whoops! Forgot about the more recent updates relating to notation. The fractions and angles questions should pull through fine now. Will make the exam question font size a little bigger first thing in the morning.‬

Really proud of how these are shaping up. Supported by my tutor program too.

🔰How do you start a lesson?

Make prerequisite skills explicit with the Hive tool in Lesson Curator — so students know what they need, why and also what it leads onto!

This has been extremely effective with my Year 11 classes following the mocks. Being able to quickly create topic tests with built-in QLA has been invaluable, giving clear insight into whether previously identified knowledge gaps have been addressed — all in just a few clicks.

A continally refined resource for topic tests, post-mock shadow papers, and extra exam-style practice. Remove the hidden worries students have about exams with my practice tests.

Wave 1 of the release is live — more to follow. 🥳

Digital papers for displaying the paper on the board to aid with modelling the answers or independent practice, supported by an AI tutor that helps students when they are stuck. The tutor can rephrase questions to encourage independent thinking and produce additional qus. 😍

Create shadow papers or short papers that focus on high frequency topics across papers 1, 2 or 3. 😅

Are you doing coordinates soon?!?

Improving the tool based on feedback from the group I last tried it with, my new dot to dot coordinate checks went down a treat with Y7 this week.

A colleague sent me an image of how the starter tool looked on her screen... didn't like what I saw... so just released an update. Shot 2 also highlights the improvements I am making to all of the question generators.
