A worked solution to a problem similar to the Hannah’s sweets question that went viral in the 2015 Edexcel Maths Examination. I have also included a couple alternative ways of doing it that I would refer to as ‘the easy way’ in a separate files (using the quadratic equation and solving by factorising). Do you think this question was too difficult for the students?Which way would you recommend to your students of solving this equation? For a factorising lesson based on the Hannahs sweets problem please seehttps://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/factorising-quadratics-hannahs-sweets-megapack-11067558For more on quadratics practice please check out our snakes and ladders game with over 500 questions. https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/gcse-maths-higher-quadratic-snakes-and-ladders-mega-pack-5-games-increasing-difficulty-over-500-qs-11055952

An article perfect for students who are thinking about studying A-Level Computing with the intention of doing a degree in the subject, and students who will be making the jump from A-Level Computing to Degree Level Computing. It includes a discussion on the benefits of developing a portfolio & how it may compare / relate to qualifications, recommendations on programming languages, a firm foundation in discrete/ decision mathematics & an introduction into some of the specialisms that draw students to the subject such as; robotics, artificial intelligence, databases, security, cryptography, software testing, UX design, software engineering and more. The reading list is probably one of the most useful I have come across and would highly recommend your students acquire some of the texts if they have an interest in the subject or are considering entering the industry.

For a more indepth look at the topics please see my other resources Enjoy & good luck to all the students sitting their exams! https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/gcse-higher-tier-complete-maths-revision-aqa-edexcel-11056125 https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/gcse-foundation-maths-complete-revision-aqa-edexcel-11055901 https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/gcse-maths-mind-maps-and-checklists-aqa-edexcel-foundation-higher-11063092

It includes an introduction to alliteration with some tongue twisters to get them engaged. It follows up with a warm up activity and then moves on to the main content. The main task is about using alliteration to create poems, and follows up with a ‘dictionary’ of examples and terms they might want to use to get them started and give them some ideas. I’ve included some screenshots to give you an idea of the quality before purchasing. A bargain at only £1. I hope your students find it as fun as mine did. Enjoy!

This presentation contains information on the fetch decode execute cycle. It starts off with an analogy and then proceeds to explain the cycle in layman’s terms so any student can understand it.
