Welcome…

Thanks for clicking by the blog of the Mathematics Department of Sydenham High School.

Please feel free to browse any resources you find here; it'd nice if you referenced any that you used.

A Level

Yes, they are so important that they get their own page ;-)

Y12 and 13… here’s the place to shout for help, download papers, and generally discuss how pleased you are with yourselves for choosing the best subject ever. Or something like that.

    Is this bit new? Do you realise how addicted I am to this website? Not sure if that is a good thing, can’t be really considering I’ve been on here at midnight on a Saturday! This is the best subject ever yes, but possibly the MOST frustrating one too :-D

  • Mel A

    I still think our yr13 decisions page with a billion comments is the best!
    Of course maths is the best, hence why we all spend our spare time on a maths blog!

  • Mrs Tibble

    You have spare time, Mel? We obviously aren’t working you hard enough lol

  • Emma Kitley

    Sorry I’ve not been blogging very much tonight, have just returned from hockey practise! I’m shattered!!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Do you mean ‘practice’ Emma? ;-)

    How do you manage to fit everything into your week?!!!!!

  • Mel A

    Oh yeah, I have copious amounts of free time, around my 4 A levels, GCSE, piano lessons, choir rehersals (which seem to multiply exponentially), D of E stuff (talking of which I need to sort a residential project)… More work is of course, always apprichiated!

  • Mrs Tibble

    You’ll have to let me into your time management secrets then Mel!
    Love the way you use mathematical terms to describe your music ;-)
    Have you noticed there’s a year 8 posting at this time of night!!
    Re more work – I’d love to but would I have time to mark it?

  • Emma Kitley

    Alright alright, Mr Brewin can’t spell either! It’s been a long day…
    To be honest I do struggle with fitting everything in! Requires many long and stressful evenings………………..blogging on maths websites!! ;-)

  • Mel A

    Ah, maths and music are one and the same thing (I remember one of your assemblies with music that was the same both ways up… with two Hannahs?!)

    Basically I’m just rediculously tired and survive on tea! It’s very sad actually! And probably not very healthy!
    Year 8s!? I used to go to bed soooooo early, and then homework/the internet came along, and now it just never happens…

    But look, 6 people online!!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Hope your multi-tasking is up to scratch then ;-)

  • Emma Kitley

    OMG SEVEN PEOPLE ONLINE!!!!!

  • Emma Kitley

    ooo tea, thats a good idea! Mel, check your emails woman! ;-)

  • Mrs Tibble

    Just going to put the kettle on and click the machine onto spin :-)

  • Emma Kitley

    Just made myself a hot sweet cuppa. A REAL cup of tea, with milk ;-)

  • Mel A

    I can’t drink tea at this time of night, I’m trying to wind down, I don’t want to be up all night!
    And Em, I’ve replied to you, but this actually is a quicker way of gettin my attention! 7 people! But you know, I think I prefered the yr 13 decision thread… And possibly we should have something we actually keep to maths?!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Err I think this is what the A level place is supposed to be lol
    Better ask Mr B to set you up a chat room ;-)

  • Emma Kitley

    Hehe, but this is nice though isn’t it… I know we’re not being very mathmatical but… I can at least inform you that the probability of Emma cleaning her room tonight is a 1 out of infinity chance…oops

  • Mrs Tibble

    Why would you want to clean your room at this time of night? Sorry – I really don’t understand the youth of today ;-)

  • Mel A

    It’s wonderful to think that everyone can read you waffling on about tea… Yep… Ok, from now only we can put something mathematical somewhere in each post… My room is not gonna get tidied either, but I can safely say that I will get less than 8 hours sleep tonight, despite my best efforts for an early night (yes, that sentence has a number in, therefore it’s maths!)

  • Emma Kitley

    Mrs Tibble, if you could see the state of my room you would be horrified. I keep turning around in my chair wondering where on earth my bed has got to ;-)

    How do I get rid of a headache? I’ve drunk loads of water and have taken neurofen :-(

  • Mrs Tibble

    There’s no area of life that doesn’t involve maths Mel, so you’re safe.
    Did you know that the rate at which your tea cools is proportional to the temp difference between tea and room to the power 4?

  • Emma Kitley

    Oh sorry my mathmatical interlude is:

    headache + messy room = emma’s kerfuffle

    solve

  • Emma Kitley

    Really, gosh where did you find that out from?

  • Mrs Tibble

    Emma, I doubt I would be horrified – I have 2 sons remember. I once sent the younger one a birthday card which congratulated him for keeping his ceiling tidy :-D

    Re the headache – have you tried sleep?

  • Mrs Tibble

    Our postings keep crossing lol

    I found that out doing A level physics – your other favourite subject!

  • Mel A

    Try getting a full nights sleep Emma!! Apart from that, make sure you aren’t hungry? (Hey, it gives me a headache!)

    That is such a cool fact, I’m actually gonna use it everywhere! And despite everything being maths, I can’t think of anything to say. There’s not very much life to comment on at the moment… :(

  • Mel A

    Ah, this is getting crazy! Physics rocks, more than maths (sorry maths department!) but the best years of physics were deffinately the GCSE stuff, taught by non other than Mrs Tibble!

  • Emma Kitley

    Lol! My ceiling is rather on the tidy side actually, maybe my room isn’t so bad after all!

    Sleep…I hardly remember what that is! But for the moment I must remain awake (to admire my tidy ceiling if nothing else) so do you have any handy hints? :-)

  • Mel A

    For staying awake (Tea, Exercise and An Ingrossing Website, you can check all three?!); For headaches (Cold things, eg. Cold wet towel (not frozen peas!), darkness…) I’ve loss track of what we were actually talking about!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Mel, maths and physics are inseparable :-)

    Emma, go and get ready for bed – that will wake you up! Then do tomorrow’s HW – but not after midnight – then fall into bed!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Wonder who the 4th person is?

  • Emma Kitley

    I’ve done 5 hours of exercise today, I couldn’t do anymore, it’d kill me! I don’t have a flannal towel thing :-( Emails Mel!

  • Emma Kitley

    Ok, I’ll go and brush my teeeeeth…

  • Mel A

    Oh, teeth brushing sounds like fun, it could be like co-ordinated! And Em, I replied to the one that started ‘Do you really think…’, and I haven’t got any more!

    4th person, don’t be shy! Come and join us, it’s great fun!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Oh they’ve gone. Now we’ll never know who it was :-(

  • Emma Kitley

    My teeth are now mc-cleeean! :-D
    Mel……….are yours?
    I have no reply to that one *sniff sniff*

  • Emma Kitley

    Mel, did we have any Tilley homework?

  • Mel A

    They are indeed… I am finished with the bathroom and one step closer to going to bed… But before then I need to make it, which is so much effort… I hate trying to get duvets into duvet covers :( :(
    I shall forward the reply to you again!

  • Mrs Tibble

    Use the inside out method Mel – it’s much easier :-)
    Just noticed Mr B has put an A level tab at the top: I’ve been using the side link up till now.
    And we’re up to 5!

  • Emma Kitley

    I don’t think I can do any more work tonight. I’ve got some rather angry workmen hammering away in my head so I think I’m going to collapse into bed and get up early instead. Good night my fellow maths bloggers, see you tomorrow :-D

  • Mel A

    I’ll give it a go, but it has a large potential for going wrong at this time at night… And my bed is still covered in junk… Basically it’s gonna be a long time till I’m in bed, but I shall let you know how I get on loading duvets!
    The A level tab is very useful, but most useful is the ‘last post’ info.
    And Emma, I think not, the last thing was SAQ 2.1-2.6, but they were due in last lesson :)

    5 people! How can this be the high point of my evening!!?

  • Mrs Tibble

    Good luck with the duvet cover!
    I need to empty the washing machine :-(

  • Mel A

    You know, I’m gonna turn the computer off, or I’ll be on all night… Any last requests Emma (sounds ominous!)

    Or indeed Mrs Tibble… not sure what I could help you with, but… I can send ‘empty yourself’ thought vibes towards your washing machine… :)

  • Mrs Tibble

    Just realised what it is we need – not a chat room but a cafe :-D

  • Mel A

    I’m still waiting to see this cafe… but on the other hand, it’s gonna make me even more behind on homework (sorry Mr Williams, I’m working on it right now!)

  • emmakitley

    Please let this show my picture…??!!

  • emmakitley

    oh no… not yet :-( hopefully it’ll come up soon!

  • emmakitley

    Hehe do you like it?

  • Mrs Tibble

    Poor Nicky is trying to transform her functions on the Year 11 thread. Why don’t one of you lot try and help her?
