Preparing for gcse workshop this afternoon.

I always like to work through any papers I will be giving to the students so that I can pick up on areas where I feel they may struggle.

Some juicy questions in this higher practice paper.

Apologies for the cackling laugh but we were having so much fun with timetables and jenga.

As we head into the midst of exam season I just want to say how proud I am of each and every student I teach.
In August we’ll get the GCSE results and the media will produce statistics and talk in numbers and targets.
However, targets and statistics don’t show the real student.

Each and everyone is more than just a number. I am proud of

•The students who are managing their anxiety and nerves

•The students who are balancing revision with playing sport

•The student who battle illness but still push through

•The students who have shown that sometimes there can be another way of learning that doesn’t involve school

•The students who are good at maths but pushing themselves that bit more to make sure they do their absolute best

•The students who have struggled with maths all their school life but finally can say “oooh I love these questions”

•The students who have never given up and have shown perseverance by retaking their exams

To each and every one of my amazing tutees, I wish you all the very best for this week and send lots of positive vibes.

With a week to go until the first maths gcse paper I know students are really revising hard.

Three really good sites to use at this stage are:
Maths Genie
1st class maths
Hannah Kettle maths

All sites have great topic and revision questions and have also produced good extra practice papers for Paper 1.

Gone are the days of just a text book and checking the answers at the back of the book!!!

Well it’s getting to that time of year where every spare moment seems to be filled with tuition.

With the first maths exam being just a week away students are really digging in deep to perform as well as they can.

This morning my GCSE student even came for tutoring on her birthday. Birthday cake was definitely a well earned reward and also a little visit from Stanley 🥳

So glad of the nice weather today.

The joys of whiteboard sheets and sunshine!

Recapping topics we have previously learnt is so important. My motto in maths is “if you don’t use it you lose it”

Love the fact that my student gave me this puzzle to solve as I was leaving his session today.

I am proud to announce I got the answer. Anyone else want a go? 😊

8.30am maths on a Sunday morning can only mean one thing ……. GCSEs maths is looming!
Huge well done to my student who can now balance his revision with going to play Rugby! Good luck with the game E

A few maths practical tips ready for exam season!!

1. Whatever scientific calculator you are using now… don’t change it!!! With the mixture of old and new Casio calculators being used at the moment it is really important that your child is used to the one they have. The new style ones are very different to the old ones so your child’s gcse exam is not the time to swap around!!!

2. Speaking of calculators….. make sure it is in the correct setting. For gcse it needs to be in degrees setting. Typing Sin 30 and checking your answer is 1/2, will verify this.

3. Equipment… make sure the compass is a sturdy one and not going to go all over the place when it’s used. Also handy hint is to have a small pencil for it. It makes it much easier to use. A trip to Ikea might be useful 😊

4. A transparent ruler will make it much easier for drawing lines of best fit!

5. Lastly TRACING PAPER. Please ensure your child knows they can ask for it in their exams. I have spoken to a number of students over the last few weeks who have been too worried to put their hand up and ask. It is allowed and helps massively for the Transformation questions.

Exam season!!!!!

Huge well done to the year 11’s who attended a mock exam today. I’m looking forward to marking their papers and giving feedback to them all in their tutoring sessions later this week.

This tends to be the time of year where serious revision kicks in (a photo of my dining room table shows you that I also have a daughter doing A levels this year and one doing GCSEs ) so I get it!!!!

Keep an eye out for a few practical tips I’ll be sharing, to make sure your child is ready for their maths GCSE’s.

Hoping all the mums out there have had a lovely day.

Working with my students is great but I also love getting to know the rest of the family too.

Today i’d like to give a huge shout out to the mums who are supporting, organising, coordinating and generally working their socks off behind the scenes, in order to support their children.

And for my Mother’s Day……… I got to help my year 11 daughter revise direct and inverse proportion 😂
