Maths SATs/GCSE Revision
For those students who are taking external maths exams later this year I am able to offer maths exam revision based on a series of books which focus on problem solv ing skills. These books are commercially printed and designed for use in schools. They cover new topics as well as those included in the FIRST CLASS LEARNING maths programme, such as fractions, time and area, etc. The work is presented in a way typical of an exam question and is very accessible. One book would last several weeks so it would need to be looked after. I would expect most students to continue with their worksheet programme but that workload could be reduced. The exercises would also identify areas which require further practice and we would use the worksheets for this. This process might involve extra tuition during class so students might have to stay in the class for longer than usual. Those students studying the English programme have already been using materials designed to practise exam-type questions but specific exam practice will also be available to them.
We also have an exciting English module, Writing Skills, which provides students with structured, supported practice to enhance their performance in the SATs Writing tests. It also includes useful tips for students tackling these exams.
Most existing students could easily switch to the problem-solving modules but any new students would have to be formally assessed. Existing maths students can also study English revision work and vice versa. If you are interested in receiving this extra service, please contact me either by e-mail or telephone.
Help with schoolwork
Don’t forget that we are always happy to help children with their schoolwork. All we ask is that you give us some notice and bring the relevant work (including textbooks) to the class. The best times to attend in these circumstances are during the first or last half hour of the class.
