Assessments will cover the content taught in lessons this year. All students have been provided with a revision list.
These assessments are very important as they will help staff and students to identify where the gaps in learning are so that we can plan effectively for next year. For Year 10 students, they will also help to inform decisions around tiers of entry.
Preparing for your maths assessment…
- The best way to revise maths is to practise maths.
You can find practice questions on Mathswatch or on Mymaths. Please let your maths teacher know if you have forgotten any login details.- Make sure you take time to learn any formulae you need.
- Start revising early, and try to revise little and often. Revising a little bit every day will help you to remember more than if you do a very long revision session the day before.
- If you need help, make sure you ask your teacher. We are here to help you to get the best assessment score you can.
- Make sure you bring the equipment you need to your exam. You will need a pen, pencil and ruler. You will also need a calculator.
- Having a good scientific calculator that you know how to use can make a huge difference to your assessment score. The school recommended calculator is the Casio Classwiz FX-83GTX. (For students in KS4 who are working towards the higher tier GCSE, we recommend the Casio Classwiz FX-991EX)
If you have any questions, you can email Mrs Hart (a.hart@sharplesschool.co.uk).
