https://t.co/IJqR5cCRYj











2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @mathninja3 do your resitters get considerably less time than yr 11? Mine alwaysused to when I worked in 11-18 #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@mathninja3 nearly 250,000 resit students...as the C grade results went down there will be evenmore this year #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @AQAMaths @EmporiumMaths no room that time and I knew you retweet #MATHSCPDCHAT !!!


2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths our KS4 were good so I can't do much about others but I wish schools would sharedata to help us with resit pupils #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@MrMattock @mathninja3 That is usual...3 hours in FE is the guided learning hours - notalways able to do that #mathscpdchat #dontshoutatme


2 YEARS AGO

@mathninja3 @tessmaths what strain does that put on specialist teaching etc?#MATHSCPDCHAT

2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @MrMattock we get 4 hours #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @mathninja3 glad to see things are slowly changing though, I only used to get 2,sometimes 1. #mathscpdchat

Boundary move


2 YEARS AGO

Anyone hit really hard by the boundary move? #mathscpdchat What are you doing torecompense this year? or is it completely different


2 YEARS AGO

@mathninja3 @MrMattock In school presumably...FE has no more than 3hrs #mathscpdchatdo you teach resit very differently to normal GCSE yr?


2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths I had a colleague that predicted it would shift but still hurt #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@MrMattock @tessmaths funny when you link it to money people react. Anyone would think it'smore important than education! #mathscpdchat

















































2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @mathninja3 Was always straight in with the @Just_Maths top 40 topics for me,would normally get about 50% through #mathscpdchat


@mathninja3 @tessmaths Have you thought of applying for more funding from EEF ...

#mathscpdchat pic.twitter.com/Cf8l29HYKu


2 YEARS AGO

@mathninja3 @MrMattock So what do we think about comparable outcomes? #mathscpdchatSurely no point in everyone improving...

2 YEARS AGO

Great idea Mary...some good awards out there...@shinetrustuk too #mathscpdchattwitter.com/PardoeMary/sta…


2 YEARS AGO

@MrMattock @mathninja3 #mathscpdchat They set the boundaries after everyone has sat thetest...so its where people sit against each other

Diana@dianak2201

2 YEARS AGO

@mathninja3 @tessmaths @MrMattock we only get 3 hours; been the same for the last 20 yearsthat I have taught GCSE in FE #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

@MrMattock @mathninja3 If they set the boundaries before the exam then that would be a trueindicator of the best? #mathscpdchat

Rufus@RufusWilliam

2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths #mathscpdchat More explicit instruction; harder on making sure they did all theirhomework


2 YEARS AGO

@dianak2201 I think FE take heed of this yrs results...Nov resists will be a big cohort as will nextyear for legacy #mathscpdchat

Motivation


2 YEARS AGO

@RufusWilliam How do you switch on a lightbulb with someone whose candle has been blownout? #mathscpdchat #greatanalogy

Diana@dianak2201

2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths strangely our numbers seem lower this yr. Norfolk bucked the trend and got betterresults, as did we as a College #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

What about Mr Ofquals intervention with Mr Pearson? ...increasing the grade boundary by onemark...just because #mathscpdchat


2 YEARS AGO

2 YEARS AGO

@dianak2201 @MrMattock giving you time to get your head around the new spec too...cunningplan #mathscpdchat

Exam technique

Emmy Bennett@msbennett_maths

2 YEARS AGO

@tessmaths @MrMattock Exam technique is crucial. Pupils get stuck on early questions whenthey could easily do later ones #mathscpdchat
