I'm not posting on here anymore. Find me at .

Very excitingly I'm teaching further mechanics and further statistics (OCR) this year. Any good resources? I've got two lots of textbooks and Integral already.

This binomial expansion question, from STEP 1 2000, is very neat.

And that's solutions to the 1999 STEP papers now done. Roll on 2000!

I've just finished watching the West Wing for the third time. What an amazing TV show.

A bit of arithmetic series on the telly tonight.

Regardless of the merits of it (or not), we don't have enough maths teachers as it is.

Well, Rishi Sunak's plan for maths to 18 has been scrapped. I can't say I'm surprised.

And exam marking is finished, hooray! Just in time before I'm off on holiday on Monday 🥳.

For the first time in my life, I'm voting in a constituency for which the result is not a foregone conclusion. In fact it could conceivably go Labour, Lib Dems, or Conservatives. Exciting!

I was the only student at my school to sit STEP. I remember being in the hall with a bunch of Year 11s doing history or something, who all left after an hour and half, leaving me on my own in a huge hall with one invigilator for the second half of the exam.

End of year reports finished and UCAS references written for my Year 12s - hooray!.

RT @hkettlemaths: I wrote this question and I like it a lot ☺️

New resources! Linear and quadratic equations from Pythagoras.

I had a wonderful geeky afternoon at @NPL open day. Full of scientists really excited to talk about their work! Plus, really cool to see the labs where the British Standards for the metre and second are kept.

Even shorter!

Most of them got it right!.

A classic question on Y12 homework this week.

I'm trying out some "spot the mistake" questions in homework. I quite like them.

Really lovely to see some of the King's Scouts @scouts in Windsor today. It was a really proud moment when I was here in 2016 (photo below) and I now help run a troop a mile away from the castle!
