Revision tasks to be completed •
Students should go through their exercise books and the KPI assessments and identify key facts, formula and methods for each topic. These can be summarised on mind maps, cue cards etc.
•
A pack of revision questions/answers will be provided the week before half term.
•
These can be used for independent study both in class and over half term.
•
Hegarty Maths can be used for additional question practice. Students should tackle Hegarty quizzes on the topics they find most challenging.
Other tips Students can use Hegarty Maths to revise and practise any topic (they do not need to have a task set for them). There are 3 ways to search for relevant videos/quizzes on Hegarty Maths: 1. Type the topic name or Hegarty clip number into the search bar (top middle of screen) and select the relevant quiz. 2. Look back at the assessment feedback sheets in your exercise book – clip numbers are contained in the column ‘HM Clip’. 3. Click the ‘Fix Up 5’ button (next to the search button). This takes you to 5 questions you have previously tried and got wrong on Hegarty Maths. Deliberately practising things, you previously got wrong, is one of the best ways to improve. REMEMBER TO WATCH THE HEGARTY VIDEOS FOR EXTRA HELP!
