Age 14 - 17 Maths Exam Revision Topics suitable for GCSE/IGCSE

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.
