I'm so jealous, I need more maths in my timetable! bearing in mind my helping out in an s3 class and all the maths I do in my free periods I probably have more maths than anyone else in my school, but still... one can never have enough maths :P I think I bemuse my friends with my love of maths. :L


I spend the most time in the maths department out of any pupil in my school. I have 9 periods of Pure maths, 6 periods of stats, 1 period of maths assistant in a S1 class, 1 period of maths assistant in a S4 class and 1 period of PSE in the maths department too. So that's 18/40 periods spent in the maths department.

I had my maths assistant periods today. I taught my 1st year class how to multiply 3 digit by 4 digit numbers (well started off with 2 x 2) and they are 5th set and they managed to do it! I learnt this super cool method of long multiplication (it's a modified napiers bones method) when I was little so I asked the teacher if I could teach them it. They loved it. I was so proud of them! Really felt a sense of achievement.

That's the method (basically) << however said person in video did it rather slow. It can be great for multiplying large numbers fast (without a calculator).

Oh cool. My third years were looking at volumes of shapes on Monday and I was quite impressed with them getting a few of the more difficult questions... it's frustrating that some of them do really well when they actually concentrate, but they just never do.

And 18 periods out of 40?! how long are your periods by the way, I'm impressed that you have 9 periods of pure maths. We only have 5 - double on a Friday (<3) and no maths on a Thursday (</3).

im applying for maths and economics at UCL. i hear they are inviting applicants for an open day friday next week. sent in my application just over 3 weeks ago. does anyone know if theyve stopped inviting to come on the 25th and will invite those who applied later on a different date?


I was invited on the 25th, however my friend was invited on the 23rd. They're inviting on wednesdays and fridays for quite a while as people are still applying for their maths courses.

My 4th years are a lot like that. There's one girl who is really smart I think and gets a lot done but is easily distracted. I also don't think she thinks that it's 'cool' to be good a maths, if you get me.

Yeah, our periods are 40 minutes long. Most lessons I have a double periods. At my school basically every AH has like 9 periods (except for Stats/mechanics if you also take pure) and then Bio/Phys/Chem you have to have 8 lecture/teaching periods and 2 study/investigation periods.

Congrats!! I've applied there too. Hopefully will get an unconditional. Will just have to see!

The email I got from St Andrews about a month ago said that they wouldn't be giving out offers till after the Jan 15th deadline though "/ maybe it's different for internationals?
