This year, we're writing UCAS references for Core Maths so I thought I'd share some useful comments.

I've written some exam style questions for AQA paper 2 (A,B and C) #CoreMaths that you can use as part of a mock.
They're on the TES rather than my site to make it a bit harder for students to access them:

🔥 Key resources for #CoreMaths teachers.
If you have recently done the May 2023 Paper 1 as a mock, the following QR codes link to tutorials to help close gaps:
mathswhiteboard.com/download…
If you have done another paper and want something similar, please get in touch.
I have also jumped into the paper 1 preliminary material and here are some questions I have come up with:

If anyone can think of anything else, please do let me know. Also check out @reflectivemaths awesome resources for both P1 and P2.

Please help settle a maths department debate.
When having bread with soup, do you butter it?

I don’t think it’s a soup thing. It’s just that butter makes EVERYTHING nicer.

Why not have two slices/rolls, one with one without?

I don't know why there always has to be somebody who will try to tell you that you're enjoying something wrong.

Interesting.
Surely the soup is the important part. I want the bread to taste of soup.

The soup is great and you make a good point, but butter on bread is also wonderful. It’s a lovely problem to have

I’m actually in the process now. Bread has to be pretty special to not need some butter

And it needs to be actual butter not some mechanically produced ‘spread’.
