When MrB & Mr S’s group practiced Paper B questions, we found we needed work on sequences and ratio.
Here are some good sites:
Interactive Stuff - sequences (Actually, the whole site is really good - have a look)
BBC Bitesize sequences Revisionaid - sequences
Queen Edith’s sequencing links (the whole Queen Edith’s site is good too)
You lucky students! There are lots of sites appearing on the Internet at the moment that contain short video lessons on aspects of maths and other subjects. If you’re having trouble with a particular area of maths or you’d like to see the kind of maths you might cover at secondary school, try these videos.
Another good maths site that explains different areas of maths is mathwithlarry. Some of the lessons are text but some have video too - the videos are on the tvlesson site too.
Watch this video of sprinters in a 100m race. This is a metaphor for your run up to SATS. Look how the sprinters keep on going to the very last metre.
If you look carefully, you’ll see some of the athletes fade away before they get to the line and others keep on working hard to overtake at the very last metre. Be like the ones that keep going to the very last metre!
Some of our genius mathematicians went to the annual Sheffield Pop Quiz. They had a great time doing difficult maths problems; and brought along their parents - who also had a great time. The teams did very well and could very well have done even better…
Here’s a couple of the questions they answered:
I have a solid shape with five flat faces, eight edges and five corners. What is my shape?
I have a 6×6 times table grid. Sum all of the numbers on the L-R downhill diagonal.
