Year 11 Summer Work- Foundation

If you are significantly behind your target (two or more grades behind) you will be asked by your teacher to complete the summer catch-up work. 

You must watch the videos and then complete the corresponding task. All tasks need to be complete and then brought in the first week back. 

This work will help improve your understanding for the next recall assessment which will happen in the first half term (October). 

You can complete it all in one go or do one section each week. For some of you it is compulsory, if you want to complete it optionally that would help improve your grade in the next assessment as well.

GCSE Bearings revision- Foundation/Higher

There are three important rules to remember when faced with a bearing problem:

1. Always start from north 
2. Always turn clockwise 
3. Write as 3-digits. e.g 035

Bearing problems are often worded: Find the bearing of B from A. This means you need to put your protractor on A and then measure the bearing to B, with zero facing north, going clockwise around your protractor and writing as three digits. 

Here is a video from corbett maths and some practise questions to have a go at.

When answering circle theorem problems, it is extremely important to use the correct vocabulary. The examiners are looking for certain key words, for example circumference, center, cyclic quadratic etc. Using the vocabulary in the post above from Corbett maths is important. 

Here are some practice exam questions and answers to have a go at!

 Higher:

On higher, when you change the subject and you have x on both sides, you need to rearrange to get x on both sides first, the once you have x on the same side you need to factorise then divide. 

 

Here are some higher questions which can be found on our instagram account.

Year 10 homework- Knowledge Organiser Measures and Accuracy

This week the year 10 homework will be to create your own knowledge organiser on a given topic. A knowledge organiser notes the specific knowledge which is important to remember. 

An example of a knowledge organiser created by Emeny Learning can be found here

How you wish to structure this is entirely up to you, it needs to be completed onto A4 yellow paper or highlighted yellow around the edge.

If you want a template this can be found here, however feel free to be creative! This is a tool which is important for revision next year, make sure that you complete it well to help when it comes to revising this topic. 

Solving Quadratic equations

Today both higher year 11 classes of mine have been revising solving quadratic. There are three different methods for solving quadratic equations: 

Factorising

 

Completing the Square 

Quadratic Formula 

And for the year 10's- found this song to help remember it! 

With these, it is important that you have a lot of practice, find below links to different resources you could use:
