Maths is a noun therefore has a capital letter in English e.g. https://ukmt.org.uk/

Way off topic but since you kindly corrected me, "maths" when used in front of "maths teacher" is a common noun not a proper noun so it shouldn't be capitalised. "The UK Maths Trust" is a title so it should be capitalised.

The exception to the above is if "Maths Teacher" was used as a title, for example on the front of a door. Also, other types of teachers like "English teacher" should have a capital E because the word English is a proper noun.

It really does have some brilliant resources on it that are still very relevant. Here's one of many examples:
https://www.madasmaths.com/archive/maths_booklets/standard_topics/integration/integration_indefinite_mix.pdf
378 integrals along with solutions - in my opinion the best integration resource for students targeting the top grades.


Bit terrifying using year 2 integration when they were wondering about year 1

It was used as a job title .. do you teach at all these days? If so, I thought you would recognise how out of date Madas is.

You used it as a job description not a job title. For example,

“Mike is a maths teacher”. Job description, no capital M.
“Mike is the Head of Mathematics”. Job title, capital M.
“I like Maths Teacher Mike Jones”. Job title, capital M.

Yes I still teach maths and I still love it. Because I know the syllabus so well I can find the best resources to give my students and that includes Madas along with lots of other places. As explained before, I wouldn’t tell a student to only use Madas (or most websites) to learn the content but there’s too much good stuff on there to tell students to avoid it completely.

Please keep on topic - I tried to steer it back!

Well, in my opinion, the Emporium has better as does Dr Frost - Madas was good ten years ago but not now. None of those integrations have a problem involved so any textbook can cover technique.

No you did not, you carried on the grammar discussion so I continued to correct you.

I know the Emporium is more useful in general. I keep saying the same thing but you keep ignoring my posts so best to end it here.

Your 'same thing' is out of date - hence to be ignored.

I think this is getting out of hand - to OP
Revise using textbooks, yt channels (ZeeshanZamurred,Bicen maths, TL Maths and maybe Haberdasher Adam’s) Dfm, the edexcel emporium. Feel free to use other boards’ exam papers asw as the practice paper ones on mymathscloud. Personally I’m a big fan of madas maths, the easier IYGB papers are good for understanding content and the harder ones to scratch your brain and apply yourself to more abstract scenarios which is a skill for exams and after a level.
Obv use other resources and good luck 👍

The Emporium is for teachers ONLY and any good teacher will share relevant resources.

What about MathsMadeEasy?

Ik mme was great for me at gcse but I wouldn’t rely on it too much for a level unless maybe you’re paying.

Save my exams is also a good shout - you don’t have to get a subscription if you just open your pages in private tabs/ incognito : )
