Cross Words , Enlargements and Graphing Inequalities
... And it's that time again. When students return after the Easter holidays, it's all systems go for GCSE's and SATS. There's a headlong rush into revision, past papers and attendance at revision classes, including our tuition centres.
But it's business as usual for many students who have been diligently working towards their exams. For them - and for us - revision is an ongoing process. Repetition, practice, asking questions, getting the answers, making notes, writing the formula, methodical working, are the foundation of success.
And they're the ones who will get the grades.
Key Stage 2 (years 3 - 6)
It's always good to see students expand their vocabulary, and try to use more expressive words. Rather than 'big' try enormous, gigantic, collosal, immense ... or, rather than 'cross' try these.
Key Stage 3 (years 7 - 9)
Enlargements hasn't been featured as a GCSE question for some time, although they are very useful for anyone planning a career in games design or architecture.
Here's a worksheet, answers and walkthrough video.
Key Stage 4 (years 10 - 11)
A few students have found 'graphing inequalities' a little challenging this week ... so here's some additional practice.
There's also quite a few additional topics on the 3minutemaths website - please do download and work through. Always pleased to mark :-)
Have a great week
