|
· Formal
homework exercises |
· As
necessary, to revise completed topics |
|
· Continuous
reflection upon the content of the course. |
· pupils

General/Foundation :
Course consists of
interpreting and communicating mathematical information in
everyday and familiar mathematical contexts, making sensible use
of calculators and solving problems involving, for example,
elementary trigonometry and algebra.

The nature of the homework will vary
depending on the topic being studied and may consist of: |
At this level. pupils are expected to
undertake an average of around 30-45 minutes of homework each
week |

| In addition
to work done in class, opportunities to improve skills and to
consolidate knowledge of basic facts and techniques can be found
on number of websites such as the Bitesize revision site for
KS2 and KS3 - see web links section of the school website;
www.sqa.org.uk - see under
Services for Learners;
www.mathsroom.co.uk - see links down left hand
side of the front page;
www.mathcentre.co.uk - revision of all topics
and basic number skills. Other useful websites are notified to
pupils and posted around the Mathematics area in school and can
be seen by pupils every time they come to Mathematics. Computer
access is always available to pupils outwith class times e.g. at
lunchtimes. |
