This is an ongoing class which is designed to provide additional support and practice for Year 9 students in mathematics. The goal is to help students strengthen their understanding of key concepts, improve their problem-solving skills, and build a solid foundation for GCSE and IGCSE maths . The curriculum of this course aligns closely with the Key Stage 3 British National Curriculum and the GCSE curriculum, ensuring that students are well-prepared for their school exams and future academic endeavors. Each week, we will introduce and explore new topics, starting with the fundamentals and gradually progressing to more challenging concepts. Through a combination of explained examples, questioning and independent practice, and interactive activities, we aim to make mathematics enjoyable and accessible for all students. Students will have amble opportunities to ask questions throughout the lessons. Students can join the course at any time during the year, as each week focuses on a new topic. We will review any necessary prerequisite knowledge at the beginning of each session, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. Key Stage 3 Maths in the British National Curriculum and this class focuses on developing a strong foundation in number, algebra, geometry, and statistics. Students will learn about integers, decimals, fractions, percentages, ratio, and proportion, as well as algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, and graphs. They will also explore geometric shapes, angles, area, perimeter, and volume, and delve into data handling, averages, and probability. By mastering these key concepts, students will be well-prepared for future mathematical studies. Students will be provided with extra practice and follow up resources between sessions. For students who need extra individual attention, we also offer one-on-one support sessions that can be scheduled upon request. Week of 4 November: Integers: positive and negative numbers, operations with integers, order of operations. Week of 11 November: Prime numbers, factors, and multiples. Week of 18 November: Decimals: place value, operations with decimals, rounding, significant figures, standard form. Week of 25 November: Fractions: parts of a whole, equivalent fractions, operations with fractions, simplifying fractions Week of 2 December: Percentages: understanding percentages, converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, percentage increases and decreases, compound interest. Week of 9 December: Ratio and proportion: understanding ratios, solving proportion problems, direct and inverse proportion, scale drawings. Week of 16 December: Indices: understanding exponents, laws of indices, negative indices, fractional indices. Holiday Break
