  1. Presentation to Y11 parents/carers Joel Amps Head of Maths 07/03/17 Maths Department

  2. The demand is higher than on the old course at foundation and higher tier level. Everyone (nationally) is in the same position! 9-1 Maths – need to know

  3. There will be three 1.5 hour exams (all 80 marks) • Paper 1: Non calculator (25th May) • Paper 2: Calculator (8th June) • Paper 3: Calculator (13th June) Any taught content can appear on any paper. Don’t assume that questions must involve using a calculator just because they’re on the calculator paper! The exams

  4. Calculators £6 (or £8 solar) Available from me Please do not ask to buy (or borrow) one on the exam day! Please do make sure you know how to use it in advance! What students need

  5. Get a revision guide and workbook - £5 from me for both • Complete workbook pages weekly. Annotate any Qs/pages that need teacher input What they should be doing

  6. Completing past papers This is the most important thing of all – not just reading notes or watching videos but actually doing questions! http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/mathematics-2015.html Specification Code: 1MA1 What they should be doing Solve the simultaneous equations 4x + y = 10 x – 5y = 13

  7. Use remote access to log on from home using the citrix Where do we find them? • Twitter search ‘ampsmaths’ then click on the link to open my OneDrive NB: All past papers from the old specification 1MA0 are still useful.

  8. Friday after school Lunchtimes Revision Programme

  9. Make sure they are organised • Reassure them • Ask them to explain their answers or methods to you – you don’t necessarily have to understand the maths • Check that they are doing questions weekly (if they can’t show you some, then that’s not effective revision) I will be setting problem solving Qs weekly for HW – they are essential but don’t count in the above! • Test them on the formulae that they need to know How you can help

  10. Thanks for your support!
