RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Ofsted has come and gone - an uplifting experience raising the standards of learning for all our students, or an appaulling process carried out by genial hatchet men and women: you decide.

Development on the subscription site at http://www.mathsnetgcse.com has continued and a major site overhaul and new look will be coming soon over the summer.
More games have been added to the Puzzles page http://www.mathsnet.net/puzzles.html. Try "Packing crate", a new approach at the traditional maze solving puzzle. A java chess game, Ludochess, is added to the ChessClub at http://www.mathsnet.net/puzzles/chess/. The "Geometry in 3D" section at http://www.mathsnet.net/geometry/solid includes an isometric drawing applet courtesy of the Illuminations site from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in the USA.

Now that specifications for the new ASA2 Mathematics qualification are appearing on exam board websites, http://www.mathsnet.net/asa2/2004/ includes references to some of the differences between Edexcel, AQA and OCR. The site now runs to 1110 pages of resources.
According to Edexcel at least it looks possible for next year's Year 13 to take modules C1, C2, C3 and C4 to go with old spec modules M1 and S1 from this year.
I wonder how many schools are racing desperately to finish the AS syllabus with Year 12 students about to vanish on so-called study leave in a couple of weeks' time?
