US Grade 4 - 7
This is an ongoing course that will study the British Curriculum for Year 10 & 11 - approx. age 14-17. The age and level of work is also of a 9th and 10th grade standard. It is a revision class that is designed to help prepare for the GCSE and IGCSE (Edexcel Spec. A) examinations. To get the most out of this course, prior knowledge/study of the topics being revised will be greatly beneficial. This course is not designed to teach from basics, but to practice and revise already studied topics. If you wish to learn the topics from the beginning, please see my other class (link below) This class will be taught as a mini-classroom environment where the material will be taught by PowerPoint. There will be plenty of explained examples, and time for pupils to ask quick questions for clarification and to aid understanding as we go through. Each week, the new topics will be introduced with numerous scaffolded examples that allow development practice from basics to extension. As the week progresses, more exam questions will be introduced and worked through in class, as well as being posted on the classroom for independent work. It is vital that work set outside of/between lessons is attempted and checked (with answers provided) if you are to get the most out of this course, and benefit from it's preparation/revision for upcoming exams. Online platforms will be used to monitor and assess progress in real-time, so that support can be given. Some online resources will give immediate feedback, whilst other interactive programmes allow practice with competitive fun. The first lesson of the week will be to revise areas of prior knowledge and introduce the topic of the week. The second lesson will develop understanding through examples, with the final lesson using exam questions to prepare and practice further. As lessons are recorded, pupils can re-watch the recordings in case they missed copying down examples, or wish to revisit the topic at a later date. If any pupils require additional support on a 1-to-1 basis, this can be arranged separately on request. The following dates and topics will be updated as the year progresses: Week Commencing 05.09.2022 - Number 1: BODMAS, Factors, Multiples, Primes, HCF, LCM, Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Recurring decimals.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some of the educational mathematical resources I use, and are available for pupils to use, are extremely common in UK teaching, however they may not be well known outside the UK or International British Schools network. Therefore if parents wish to check out the websites prior to their children accessing these resources, then they may feel more comfortable as to their content.
The key resources I use are:
www.lbq.org/task - The login for this belongs to myself (paid for). The tasks I set on this platform allow pupils to only access the question set that I create for the day. No other part of this website can be accessed by the pupils. Be aware that when pupils enter a name for the task, this data is stored for my viewing, so pupils way wish to use a non-recognisable name if they wish to appear anonymous.
www.drfrostmaths.com - This will be used for resources to create powerpoints. There is also an online quiz, similar to Kahoot! No personal login required for pupils to access the quiz.
www.Kahoot.it - Online quiz. No login required. A private licence has been paid for privately.
Supply List
Scientific calculator; maths set involving compass, set square and protractor; book / paper for working. Be able to print off worksheets as necessary (or preferred for them).

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a qualified mathematics teacher with 18 years’ experience. I have taught across the age range from 7 – 18 in a mixture of state and private/independent day and boarding schools and up until teaching online this last year, was employed full-time in an English International boarding school with responsibilities for teaching Maths across the curriculum in addition to teaching Cadets outdoor skills.
*I teach across Key Stage 3 and 4 preparing pupils for GCSE Higher and Foundation, as well as being responsible for the ‘Top Set’ and their progression onto AQA Further Maths and OCR Additional Maths Qualifications.
*At the senior age range (17/18), I teach the OCR MEI A Level syllabus throughout, including all Pure, Statistics and Mechanics. Working within an International Baccalaureate School, I teach the Diploma Programme of Maths, originally at the Maths Studies and Standard Level, however with the change, I am now wholly responsible for the teaching of the Applications & Interpretations Diploma course at both Standard and Higher Level.Reviews
