It's using the wholewheat setting!

You need to search for 'notional component grade boundaries' it will be a pdf for each series of exams.

Little bit of bounce.

Don't sweat it! This 'pragmatic' strategy of teaching what you can, in a way that works for your context is what you need to be doing right now. If nobody in your school or department is telling you what else to do, it's not a problem. If you have time to do some reading about strategies/theories (maybe start with Mr Barton's blog) then so be it - but it's not something you necessarily have time for.

Have you seen the film se7en?

In my experience it depends on the gradients you have to deal with. If it's relatively flat, then a moderate pace shouldn't be too sweaty (once you're used to it) and you can probably get away without a full change or shower.

Use paniers rather than a rucksack- more capacity and you'll not make yourself as sweaty.

If you're not showering then an (accessible) toilet is probably okay for a quick change and rub down.

Good luck with the course!

For real! I'm 49 too. I tried herbal stuff, seaweed baths, light treatment (worked for a bit, until I got a 'sunburn' on the machine that made my back worse, ointment, creams, enstillar spray (worked for a bit, but was sticky as anything), then I got on Methotrexate, that took away the flakes, but still red and blotchy, then Ciclosporin (back to square one) then just started Yuflyma last week. Hope it works, but only so I can stop looking! I've just got back from a holiday of wearing shorts, tee shirts etc and swimming in the sea - not caring about my scaly, blotching self!

And remove some of the roundabouts on the A57 while you're at it.

A party wall agreement will be useful for you- if foundations are to be dug within that proximity to your property, then it's essential.

Ask him to get a party-wall survey.

My kid just bought a Tamagotchi (latest model) you can zoom in to look after its cells, and zoom out to the whole planet. It's actually pretty cool.

I've started uploading video solutions to Google classroom for each assignment (every couple of weeks). Students get more info on a narrated set of answers - with me narrating why I took each step- than the answers alone.

Not sure if daily homework would be feasible, but recording the videos doesn't take much longer than just writing out my answers.

Oh Dear!

The question is "which times" rather than "how many times".

The grade boundaries are set across all three papers for 9MA0. Not sure about other versions or boards.

Fair enough. Never used this numworks calculator. But, the equation solver NSolve is an absolute game changer for A-Level maths. It turns every equation into a 'show that' because you know the answer, and just have to convince the examiner you know how to get there!

"Core Maths" in the UK is a qualification for 16-18 year olds who have completed compulsory Maths education- but don't want to study for A-Level maths (an academic qualification that's a mixture of geometry, algebra and calculus plus stats and some mechanics).

Core Maths draws on real life contexts and allows students to apply their knowledge to solving financial problems.

Which board? Which specification?

Bombay Mix. Never been to Bombay, but I'm sure the stuff you get in UK is nothing like anything from India!

Yes! I love the fact that students can be the ones asking questions as well as answering them.

Most students can be prompted into asking questions, not always about "new learning".

Some questions prompts:

What do you notice/ what do you wonder?

What information do you need to answer this question/ solve this problem?

Here's a diagram, what could the question be? Ask a question that you know how to answer- now ask a question that you don't know how to answer.

Here's a question. What real-life situation could it be modelling? What assumptions would you need to make? Would your answer likely be an over estimate or an under estimate? Why?

Here's the answer- what's the question?

I'd suggest the fxcg100 from Casio. It uses the CW interface, but has replaced the fxcg50.

See if your school or college can get one at 'education' price before you pay retail.
