Duncan uses ChatGTP to help him make these resources but he doesn’t just type in a prompt. The AI generates graphs and questions but it’s Duncan who does the thinking about what the tasks should actually look like. The resources follow an “I Do, We Do, You Do” approach, intended to be delivered at pace, with live modelling leading to lots of independent practice.
In these resources Duncan has stripped away unnecessary complexity – things like awkward language or overcomplicated scales – and introduced key representations without context at first, so students can focus on the mathematical structure without distraction.

2. Dr Austin’s Key Stage 3 Revision
I really like these new Key Stage 3 revision resources from Dr Austin. The worked examples at the top means they’ll work well if you’re setting cover for absent teachers, as well as for revision.
Many thanks to everyone who has created and shared Paper 2 resources for next week’s GCSE exam. These include @1stClassMaths, @MathsTeacherHub, @Mr_D_Does_Maths, @hkettlemaths, @ThtPedagogyGeek, @CorbettMaths, @OnMaths, @ThirdSpaceTweet, @MattTheApp, @GCSEMathsTutor, @Just_Maths, @AddvanceMaths, @BennettMaths and @DrFrostResource and many more (apologies to those I’e missed – there’s been so many to keep track of!).
At my school we are fortunate that we have no GCSE exams the day before Maths Paper 2 this year and we have a couple of hours where all the Year 11 maths teachers are available, so we’ve invited Year 11 into school to do some predicted papers that day. We plan to use the 1st Class Maths Predicted Papers plus a revision mat that I’ve made containing topics that might come up in the exam the next day. If you want to borrow this revision mat (note that we do AQA), feel free to download it here (currently only Higher but I will add a Foundation version later this week). Please note that I don’t take any credit for writing most of the questions – I’ve just found questions that my students haven’t seen before and arranged them in a useful resource. It’s designed to be printed on A3 to ensure there’s some space for workings. I’ve also made similar A level revision mat (we do Edexcel at A level) for our pre-exam warm up next week that you’re free to borrow if you want.
4. GCSE Statistics
Since I started teaching GCSE Statistics as an option block course I’ve realised that there’s a huge gap in the market for resources for this qualification. There are plenty of resources available for GCSE, A Level and AQA’s L2 Certificate in Further Maths, but high quality resources for GCSE Statistics are seriously lacking.
5. Alpha Books
Thank you to @neechmaths.bsky.social and @mrsevcartwright.bsky.social for pointing me towards the temporary website alphaworkbooks.co.uk from Phil Thorns. Phil has published a collection of write-on workbooks which include examples, questions, hints and answers. These workbooks are great – a lot of the tasks have scaffolded hints, so I can see loads of potential uses for them, including cover work, revision, homework.
Update
In other news, Craig Barton and I are thinking about running another course this October: Marvellous Maths 4. Those of you who have attended before will know how this works: it’s a full day of CPD for maths teachers, and we hope to run the same event in three separate venues: South, Midlands and North. We have really enjoyed running these courses in the past and we always get great feedback. If you can offer a suitable venue in the Midlands on 21st October 2025, please get in touch (e.g. a school with capacity for 100 delegates and good transport links).
