Homework:

Homework will be set by the class teacher twice per fortnight. This may be

further practice of skills in exercise book research activities structured revision tasks online tasks through the website mymaths

Every pupil should complete additional independent study in addition to homework set by their teacher. This should focus on revisiting past topics to promote retention of knowledge. Pupils can try questions from their books to see if they still understand the techniques. They could also use the mymaths search facility to seek and complete any task of their choice; or even spend some time playing the mymaths games for practice of arithmetic.

Support:

Academic Review Centre (ARC) runs daily for 30 minutes at lunch time with a member of the mathematics department on duty.

Textbooks/Revision guides/study aids:

The mathematics department currently use CGP textbooks. The complete list of our books is below. You may wish to purchase a copy for your child which would provide them with opportunity for practice and revision. Should you wish to purchase a copy for your child please ask their class teacher which is the appropriate book.
