Homework
Spring Term 2005
Year 11
Mathematics
| Year
11 students continue to be taught in ability sets this year. These
sets are based on results of previous testing and teacher assessment. The homework pattern for each class is listed below. Please note that while topic order will remain the same throughout the course, some timings may change slightly depending on progress made in a particular topic. The individual needs of the students will also be taken into consideration so revision and practice for examinations will also need to be given. All plans are based around the textbook or worksheets and are dependent on the levels of the National Curriculum and the GCSE levels of entry. Homework is set at least once a week and students are expected to spend approximately one to one and a half hours on each one. Sometimes students are given a separate homework book (blue exercise book) to complete their work in. Students will be set either exercises from the text books, research on that topic, mathematical puzzles (problem solving) or a learning homework. Students will need to complete one piece of coursework at the beginning of this term. This is an extended piece of statistical work. They will also need to undertake the other piece during the first few weeks of next term. They must do the work in school although additional notes may be made at home and brought into school provided the member of staff teaching them is aware of this fact. This is to ensure fairness and to enable sufficient support and guidance to be given on the task. Students may also have to finish the work at a lunchtime or afternoon session if not completed. Students are expected to revise on a regular basis to ensure that they remember the work studied thoroughly. They will be given guidance on the best way to revise. This will include preparing three lists ‘Happy, More Practice and Things I Avoid’, this is helpful for students to try to target certain areas. This can be done in light of the mock examination results. In addition to the above it is very important that students practice mental arithmetic on a regular basis. Multiplication tables must be learnt thoroughly. A suggested method that is helpful is set out at the end of this section together with some useful mathematical Internet sites. Homework will follow these patterns: |
