Hello, It is good to receive tips and articles from FlyingColoursMaths in email. Well, I have been a learner in maths. You seem to be very well educated in maths and have a lot of good ideas about learning or teaching basic maths. May I ask you a few questions

First up, a horrible confession: I like teaching the higher-lever core maths modules (C3 and C4), because they're closer to 'real' maths than the AS-level ones. One of the things that sets them apart is the introduction of proofs, usually for trigonometry1. And a lot of students struggle with it

It goes with the territory. Some of them are entertaining, most of them are harmless, misguided buffoons, and some are dangerous
