1. Welcome to Year 11 Specialist Maths
Work with a partner to solve this puzzle:
Six games into the hockey season, Kate’s team is doing okay.
They won two games, lost two, and two games were draws.
In total, they scored four goals, and conceded four goals.
Surprisingly, each game had a different scoreline!
(1-0 and 0-1 are different.)   What were the scorelines for the six matches?

2. Have you thought about how you will organise your notes?
(1) A notes book, (2) a work book and (3) an errors book (can be combined with notes)
how you will store handouts?
How strong are your algebraic and numeric skills?
Much of your holiday homework will be concentrated on this – it’s due first lesson back next year.

3. How competent do you feel in the use of the CAS calculator?
Do you have the right settings on your CAS calculator?
FLOAT, AUTO, (radians)
Which website do you use to help you understand maths?

4. HOW TO STUDY MATHS
Make sure you fully understand each new concept – this way you will save having to memorise it and you’ll find it easier to manage a variety of questions on that topic.
Make sure you DO QUESTIONS rather than spend too much time making notes.
Reading a solution is not understanding!
Always follow up on any concerns as soon as possible
