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.

Do you want me to come avec you?
School is definitely open – but you could phone first to see if there’s anyone in who could help you. 8768 8000
It would kill two birds with one stone because I could get my art from the Cent building…
phoning
and no one in physics is in sooooo no marks 4 us sorry em
Oh no!
Wanna come with me to get my art? I don’t want to be shouted at!!
lol where are you atm?
Everyone is in on Monday Fiona. Can you wait that long?
Is there a particular question you are stuck on or do you just generally want the answers?
Dulwich but I’ll be quick up there and will be about 5 mins in school…
lol
ok have my number??? txt me when ur by the school and i’ll come join u
Can you ask someone to look on my desk in the staff work room to see if I left my pencil case there please. I can’t find it
Oh no sorry Mrs Tibble neither of us saw your comment!!
Fiona I love you, thank you so much for today
Re Physics Mark Schemes: forces and motion (I have it!) or photons and electrons (I need to get down my folder because I haven’t had a look at those) so if it’s a specific prob with F&M I can help you now…?
I meant to say, I have the Jan 06 F&M since that seemed to be what you we’re after, I have a lot of others as well if you want to ask for anything specifically
It’s quarter to twelve on a Friday night and there are 5 people online!!!!!
Me still! Sorry I haven’t been around lately… I’ve been reading my Feynman book- I’ve really enjoyed it, even though it was tough in places, but I’m on the last chapter… I was going to look for the Prime Numbers book in the school library… I haven’t been in there for a while, so I’m not really sure what’s there…
If it isn’t there, I think Mr W has a copy. It’s a great read – I couldn’t put it down at the end as something really unexpected happened!!
Can’t lend you mine as my son wants it – sorry!
I’ll check in the library, although I’m so behind in both fun reading and prescribed books that I really should be focused on that… I’ll call it maths revision though
Hehe! Have you read the joke Jemila put on my year 7 page – the one she didn’t get??!!
Oh HaHa, power to the women!
Although if I’m honest probably as a year 7 I would be looking for more of a link to the question and so might have missed it myself!
And I think I still prefer the one where the men are arguing about the general public knowing maths and ends with the ‘plus a constant’. Maths jokes are growing on me!
Salary Theorem
The less you know, the more you make.
Proof:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time
It is therefore true that Knowledge = Work / Money .
Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of work done.
That is quite good! I actually literally did laugh out loud. lol.
Have you seen this one? Unfortunately I can’t do the symbols.
The integral of 1/cabin d(cabin)
equals log cabin + c
= houseboat
Jesus and his disciples were walking around one day, when Jesus said, “The kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9.” The disciples
looked very puzzled, and finally asked Peter, “What on earth does Jesus mean – the Kingdom of Heaven is like 3x squared plus 8x minus 9? Peter said, “Don’t worry. It’s just another one of his parabolas.”
Mathematic puns are the first sine of madness.
I was a bit lost with the cabin one… you can explain it in our next decision lesson! But the other two are good… I’m off to bed tho, night!
Me too. Goodnight. Did you see there were 4 people online a couple of minutes ago!!!
Oh, I understand the cabin joke now! It requires you to say it out loud… lol. I think that’s my new favourite!
And an off the topic question: why are past papers and mark schemes and things all password protected? Surely it wouldn’t hurt if one person put them up and then every student in the whole world could benefit from them…?
Not sure. OCR are freely available from their website but Edexcel are mean – they want you to buy them!
Wow, seven people online!
Well there are 5 now… Does this ever become 2 pages or will it just get longer and longer and longer… ?
Ha, I think it’ll get longer and longer!!
I promised myself that I wouldn’t give in… but I’ve given in! Please can someone help me with this:
x^2 + 2px + (3p + 4) = 0, where p is a positive constant, has equal roots.
Find the value of p
I’ve got 2p^2 – 12p – 16 = 0 using b^2 – 4ac = 0
Which can’t be solved unless 16 is positive… what am I doing wrong?! It’s driving me nuts!
Also, on a random note… I don’t suppose anyone here has that Entrance Exam help sheet thing so that someone could please tell me if I am down to help out tomorrow or not?! I’m sure I’m not but I just wanted to check… Merci buckets
It’s alright, I answered my own question regarding the entrance exam thing… and there are EIGHT people!!!
(online!)
Emma, when you square 2p you get 4p^2!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew I was doing something really stupid!!!!!!!
You could also do this question by comparing coefficients:
If the roots are equal, the brackets are the same.
(x+a)^2 = x^2 + 2ax + a^2
Comparing the 2 equations:
a=p
a^2 (=p^2 from above) = 3p+4
and the rest follows
Why is Mr Brewin showing as a muppet???
I can’t believe I was such an idiot! Thanks so much
That is exactly what I was wondering!! I was going to mention that to him!
Are you in tomorrow or is it just Year 12. And are Year 13 in properly or on study leave?
No, I’m not strictly in tomorrow… but thought I might pop in to help if I can… It is basically just Year 12 in tomorrow apart from a couple of Yr13s…
And Year 13 get the day before their exams off as study leave so hardly any of us are really going to be in much next week as we’ve got exams spread throughout
Mrs Tibble I used all my letters!!!!!
lol emma!!! revise maths!!! revise!!! i command you!!!
But don’t you understand, this is going to be the ONLY time that I am beating Mrs Tibble in scrabble?!
The fact that I’ve just played the first move of a brand new game is besides the point! I must savour this moment while it lasts!!!
em, i can’t do it *cries*
Oh no, don’t worry pleaaase!
Look, get C1 out of the way first ok?
xxxx
Don’t cry! Maths will go wonderfully! You know I am the commander of all things and I command it to go well… Basically I’m just here wishing you all loads of luck and giving you big hugs, because atm I doubt I’ll be in tomorrow (having just slept for 5 hours and felt worse…)
Do fantastically, just for me! And I shall be in bed taking all your sickness away from you. Aren’t I good?!
awww mel what be wrong???? we miss you
also there is a physics 1 text book in the physics prep lap 4 u
i loves u
xxxxxx
Fiona, you’ll be fine – stop panicking!! (Is that how you spell it?)
Good word Emma – must be a good sign.
13 people online WOW!!
