Mathematical Miscellany #100

Jonathan Hall – Misconceptions

Added to my Misconceptions collection, this brain dump of mathematical misconceptions from Jonathan Hall on Bluesky.


Worked hard on a big revision of my risps. Weeding out mistakes, making tasks clearer, writing Geogebra and Excel files, all with better navigation; look out for the free eBook coming out in January!

Looking forward to this RISP revision from Jonny Griffiths. In the meantime, head to my RISPS page for RISP publications from Jonny Griffiths.

RISPS
From Jonny Griffiths, try RISPS (Rich Starting Points), Open-ended investigative activities for the A Level Pure Mathematics classroom. On the home page, note the helpful index by topic, choose a personal favourite of mine, Risp 21 Advanced Arithmagons, for example, and you will see not only the task but also teachers’ notes.


Andy Lutwyche – Edecel IGCSE, RAG resource

I am always keen to find resources for IGCSE (Edexcel) and was so pleased to find this Topic RAG resource, from Andy Lutwyche on TES. (Andy is a favourite resource author; there are many references to his resources on this blog.) As you can see from the image, all the topics on the IGCSE maths syllabus are listed, and for each, an example is given. Two resources are provided: versions with and without answers. This resource has been added to my IGCSE collection.

Andy has a similar resource for AQA, Level 2 Further Mathematics. This resource is available with and without the Sparx codes. This is available in the Level 2 Further Maths collection.

Transum Advent Calendar

With December fast approaching, I have checked my Mathematical Advent Calendars and Christmas resource collections. I will update these as any new resources become available. For 2025, see this post from Matthew Scroggs, Christmas 2025 is coming.
