Year 9 plus
By year 9, pupils will be working across a range of levels. Some may be preparing to take GCSE early while others may find it useful to review work done throughout KS3 in preparation for tests and exams. In order to ensure that earlier work has been consolidated and completely understood it is worth reviewing year 7 or year 8 work.
The suggestions below provide a cross-section of resources which will help your child to feel confident and hence ready for more advanced work in KS4.
Maths
Maths at this level includes work such as sequences, more advanced algebra, ratio and proportion as well as beginning to prepare for GCSEs or any examinations. They also need to practice working quickly to complete examination papers in time but without making careless mistakes. Practice with examination papers is always useful so your child is familiar with the format and the manner in which the questions are written.
