What you should do in order to fulfil your potential and succeed in year 11:

 

Maths is not a spectator sport; you cannot learn maths by just watching or listening – do your best to complete all tasks set in class and for homework.

​

Be prepared – not only by having the correct equipment but by being ready to work hard and by being resilient.

​

Reflect on what you can do better and how you can improve – you are responsible for your own effort, attitude and behaviour and consequently the progress you make.

​

You should remember that maths is the only subject you study that is an art, a science and worth studying for its own sake. You will meet ideas that have changed the course of history. Mathematics is not about learning rules but rather using your imagination and creativity.

 

Finally, and most importantly, you should remember that past papers are the key to success.

If you are absent:

​

If you are absent, and well enough to do some maths, you should use MyMaths to cover the topic(s) you are missing. In addition there are topic based practice questions in the link below.

Getting the best grade possible:

​

Research has shown that the more past papers you complete the higher grade you will achieve. 

It is never too early to start working on past papers!

The best way to use past papers is as follows:

1. do the paper 

2. if you get stuck, or need a hint, use the videos

3. mark the paper

4. watch the videos of any questions you didn't get full marks on

5. after a week, return to the questions you got wrong and try them again
