Coming back to school with a cold brain is not a good idea! Time to start it up and find a few gears before September - just over 2 weeks to go.

New Years 8and 9 - see if you can list 30 prime numbers in 2 minutes (practise till you can!!) at http://www.sporcle.com/games/primenumbers.php

New Year 10 - look at the link called fun mathematics and practise your fraction, decimal, percentage conversions.

New Year 11 - some of you have past papers to complete; don’t leave them till the last minute - they are due in on the first day back!! If you weren’t set anything specific, practise everything quadratic and make sure your algebra is in good form

New Year 12 - your workbook needs to be completed by the start of term. Post on the blog if you need help.

New Year 13 - you now have your results so you need to decide if you are happy or want to do resits. If you want to do resits, then get out those past papers and start working through them now. There will be revision sessions for you but there’s not a lot of time with your A2 work as well - and it can’t all be done at Christmas!! C3 has a tremendous amount of trig in it, so you may need to revise your trig in preparation: definitions of sin, cos, tan and their graphs, transformations of trig graphs will be needed.

 

Have fun!! First day back there are maths lessons for Year 13, Year 11 and Year 9 so BRING YOUR CALCULATORS!! Year 13, you’ll need an A4 file for D1 as it can’t easily be done in an exercise book.

 

See you soon

Hope you guys are having a good holiday… any help you need on the workbook exercises, just shout here.

For the Year 12’s who enjoyed Thorpe Park on Thursday (sorry the rest of you, you’ll have to do A-Level Maths if you want to get on the best SHS trip!) how about this – a guy who built a rollercoaster in his back garden. Insane!

Remember to complete questions 1 to 3, calculating means using frequency tables, and hand your work in on Tuesday for marking.

Ignore this little test please!

If your mental arithmetic is slow or your basic arithmetic skills are a bit dodgy

have a look at this site for some fun practice.

The questions change every round so you can keep going back to it.

 

Here’s another one which is good for number work:

Practise moving between fractions, decimals and percentages.

Year 7

Here is the work from today (12th June).

Your homework is to complete the pie chart on birthday money or the pie chart on telly tubbies (based on how far you got in the lesson).

Best of luck
