8. WHAT WORKS BEST
We are setting Past Exam Papers regularly, going through them and assessing them.
Any questions that were not answered correctly need to be revised and tried again.
We are tracking progress using past exam papers and now your daughter should be seeing a gradual improvement in marks.
Revise the most common topics first – use the blue topic list (available later in the year)
Short bursts of revision and don’t do a paper all at once (VLE.Mathswatch is great for this)

9. What parents can do to help
Remind your daughter to attend any tutoring session or revision class that takes place.
Discuss her successes, for example a good homework or result in a test.
Our LRC has some books for parents explaining how they can help their children with Maths.
Ask your daughter to explain maths questions to you as this reinforces her learning of the topic.

10. And finally...
Please feel free to call the school if you would like to talk to your daughters’ maths teacher if there is anything that you are not sure about.
Your daughters’ maths teacher will always be happy to help.
