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: 12 Foundation and Higher Statistics homework or revision papers for 14 to 16 years 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 first series focuses on Statistics and Number. 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.

A variety of preparatory resources for Maths SAT papers aimed particularly at Year 6 students (aged 10 to 11). These resources cover a wide range of the Curriculum and are well presented and easily marked. The 22 Homework assignments each comprise pages that span the KS2/KS3 transition; page 1 of each assignment is equivalent of old level 2 content, page 2 to level 3, page 3 to level 4 and so on; hence pages 1 to 4 as an A3 folded booklet (with 22 original assignments available) provide copious amounts of SAT practice! The additional paper has been written to emulate SAT style problems, and spans a wide range of ability levels with excellent practice available; this has been composed of highly original and stretching problems to assess student progress.
