Constructive Criticism
Q10. You said: "zero point one zero pence per choc" and "....zero point zero three pence cheaper".
This is not accurate, because what you have written (correctly) is "zero point one zero POUNDS per choc" and "....zero point zero three POUNDS cheaper". If the kids see pounds but hear pence, they might make a mistake.

If you do the calculations in pence right from the start, then it would have been a lot easier to understand.
Normal Rate = 325 pence / 25 chocs = 13 pence per choc
Discount Rate = 500 pence / (2 x 25) chocs = 500/50 = 10 pence per choc
Special offer = 13p - 10p = 3p per choc cheaper

We love your videos. It is helping my son a huge amount with his revision and it is also helping me to remember GCSE maths so that I can help him revise. The fact that he can rewind and do watch something a dozen times if he needs to is so much help compared to a single run-through with the overworked teacher in the class.
Keep up the good work. Hope you don't mind "old Dad's poking their noses in".

Q11c Back again.
No1 son wrote down "Probability is now 4 out of 36 = 4/36 which is greater than 1/36"
He then ticked the "greater than" box.

Do you think that he would still get the single mark? His logic was floored, but the asked for answer is correct (ironically).
If he had NOT written his workings, then there would not be any discussion.
It does make me now wonder if it is a good idea to show your workings for a one point question, as presumably the examiner cannot give less than one point?

you talk to much but you are a good teacher
