Can you do more Robert! I have just started to use the Promethean Board and I am finding it heavy going. I was used to using a blackboard until August this year.

It was something I would get round to evenually but if it already exists then why double the work. I dont suppose the questions could, or have been put into the correct order as it would apply to the units themselves. (Just a thought. ) Thanks again John Thanks for the questions Robert.

Pupils do get get to use graphic calculators in one of the maths exams. Quite a few pupils buy them - sometimes second-hand from older pupils. I think it's a similar story in other state schools. We do have graphic calculators that pupils can use in school, but they can't take them home. Sorry about the slow response Many - I’ve been away on the school ski trip to Italy.

To be honest if you didnt take any other sciences and dont plan to carry on with maths you wouldnt really buy one though as they are like £35. Do many pupils buy them or do they just stick to scientifics? Do you by anychance know if its the same with many other schools? I was having an arguement with my teacher about it and he was saying that most schools provide them with graph calcs, but he seems to be wrong! Thanks so they dont get to use them in the actual exam?

It's a bit vague really. We have sets of graphic calculators that pupils can use in class, but they don't get to take them home, and we do suggest that it might be a good idea for them to buy one. I read your rant, and agree that it does all seem a bit unfair! Hi Mandy. It’s a bit vague really.
