Year 11 GCSE Foundation
GCSE Foundation Year 11 Programme of study and Homeworks
Homework
This year all homeworks will be set from Hegarty Maths https://hegartymaths.com/ Logging on will be explained to students who have failed to complete any tasks set them last year.
Students may request extra papers to those done in class, to take home. These will be marked by the teacher and feedback given. Please ensure that he is supported in this and encouraged both to ask for and to complete them. To help their understanding, links will be provided to video explanations and further questions on topics they don’t quite understand from the Corbett maths website https://corbettmaths.com/
To help students master topics they have struggled with in class there are three websites which provide worksheets of exam style questions, exemplar or worked solutions (WAGOLLs) and a video guide for explanation. Further to this, by typing a particular topic into Youtube you can usually find some good ‘how to’ guidance.
https://online.justmaths.co.uk/ for this site they will need the login which can be provided.
