Steps for Success for applying mathematical methods

(1)
A student support document to assist with revision and with tackling home assignments independently. The document covers a range of topic areas and specifies stepped approaches for applying mathematical methods such as estimated means, factorising quadratics, applying basic and more advanced Trig, dealing with direct and inverse proportion etc.

Maths: 12 Foundation and Higher Geometry homework or revision papers for 14 to 16 year olds

(2)
This is a series of 12 differentiated homework or revision resources. They are designed to be used in conjunction with my excel, 'Monitoring' document which allows for all results from the Statistics, Pure and Geometry series to be recorded. There are two versions of each assignment, Foundation (for low to middle ability students) and Higher (for middle to high ability students). They are designed for the new GCSE specification in the UK, and would suit any students within the same age range in other countries. This third series focuses on Geometry and Algebra. They are easy to mark and provide excellent feedback (the monitoring document allows for results in key topic areas to be analysed, as well as progression as students improve their knowledge and understanding. These assignments have led to sustained improvement of Mathematics results in the College in which the author teaches with students excelling at every ability range.

Monitoring document for Statistics, Pure and Geometry write on examination practice assignments

(0)
Results can be recorded for each of the 12 assignments for the three categories; Statistics, Pure and Geometry. By inputting results for each question on the paper in the worksheet labelled with the number of each assignment, and specifying whether the student completed the Foundation or Higher paper, overall results are calculated (with a grade based on the new GCSE specification), and topic areas are analysed so that weaknesses can be targeted. Input names for each group in the lead worksheet and these will automatically appear in each subsequent worksheet. Track results over time with this monitoring document. The author has used the series and tracking successfully to ensure sustained success in Mathematics examinations for the students at his College.

22 Maths homework or revision papers for Ages 11 to 16 (over 150 pages)

22 Maths homework or revision papers for Ages 11 to 16 (over 150 pages)

(4)
This is a series of 22 homework assignments. Each page relates to the new GCSE specification grading structure (Page 6 is equivalent to Grade 6) with 15 marks available on each page and a style of questioning that allows for quick marking. For US users, the increasing complexity of the papers will ensure students can demonstrate what they already have learned while challenging themselves to advance their knowledge and understanding. The papers cover a broad range of topics and are designed to get students practising and extending themselves for examination preparation. They can be used successfully with any age, although younger students will naturally focus on the earlier pages of each assignment. The homework assignments are designed so that students can choose any four consecutive pages, or the teacher can designate which four consecutive pages the student should complete, hence targeting the ability of the student and always promoting the opportunity to challenge oneself. The monitoring document, therefore, allows for 4 consecutive page results to be input for each student, generating a percentage result and a ‘Page Progress’ result (which effectively determines the grade that the student achieves). These are easy to use, write on papers that have been used successfully to raise the attainment of Mathematics students at all ability levels at the College within which the author teaches.
Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource

Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource

(2)
These worksheets are designed as general practice for the basic Grade 4 (core skills) and more advanced Grade 6 (extended skills) ability ranges. There is no 'Use and Application', and they are designed purely to get students to practise the broad range of methods and knowledge required to 'do' Mathematics. They are ordered in respect of Number, Algebra, Statistics and Geometry. The 8 pages are designed to be printed onto A3 folded sheets so that students have a write on resource with minimal printing required. The Mathematics 'Help Booklet' that I offer for free, and the 'Steps for Success' document, provide guidance to students to help with the completion of these papers. The back page of the 'Help Booklet' directly references each question of Core Skills into the booklet; for example, question 1b on the Algebra page is referenced to pages 21 and 26 respectively of the Help Booklet where structured models are available to show the process of factorising linear and quadratic expressions.
