Missing Words, Rotations & Hard Maths

Great to hear of excellent A level results last week, and many congratulations to some brilliant students.

In the spirit of aiming to support, we might be arranging an A level group from the new term. There's also a number of new videos to 3minutemaths ... always keen to hear your comments - please do let me know :-)

Here's a fun exercise for the summer. Can you write your own missing word paragraph?

Always pleased to mark and feedback, particularly the funny ones.

hobbling

paws

huge

fields

leaping

wearing

Ever play a computer game? An item - such as an alien spaceship - moves across the screen. Here's the translation maths.

And here's when the spaceship rotates.

Getting ready for year 11? Don't forget, we're (and your teachers, and your parents, and your friends) are always here to support.

Here's a new 3minutemaths post on 5 hard GCSE questions - might be good to practice.

Have a great week
