Examples of topics that only come up on papers 2 and 3 due to the Calculator paper need of a calculator: using quadratic formula, using a calculator 80 marks correctly, iterative methods, compound interest and depreciation, sin and cosine rule. Topics Covered in Term 1: FDN Topics: Pythagoras’ Theorem, Bearings, Loci & construction, Similarity and Congruence, Vectors Higher Topics (11A1 only): Vectors, Converting from Recurring decimals to fractions, Upper & lower bounds, Surds including rationalising, Expanding & factorising with double and triple brackets, Congruence and geometric proof Google Classroom Code: 5vxzjhf Suggested Reading, Viewing and Key Revision Websites: • MathsWatch – Students will be provided with a login for MathsWatch. This is an online learning platform where work can be set by the class teacher for pupils to practice questions at home. This can be used as homework or for revision pupils. MathsWatch also provides videos for pupils to watch to aid them in the completion of questions – this allows pupils to gain some extra practice in completing questions that they may have struggled with in lesson. • Edexcel Revision Guides for Maths (Foundation + Higher) – Guides that pupils can purchase so that they can independently learn and revise topics at home. A revision guide and a revision question booklet can be purchased from ParentPay. • Google Classroom – Students will be given a log in at the start of the year. After assessments reviewing learning which take place after every two weeks, and after every mock exam, staff in the Maths department record themselves completing every questions. All videos are then uploaded to Google Classroom for students to view and appropriate ones independently. Revision Strategy 1: Complete past papers. In the build up to mock exams, staff will usually prepare students with past paper content to revise from. In addition, students can go to MathsGenie.co.uk at any point throughout the year to download past papers and student-friendly worked solutions. Revision Strategy 2: Use MathsWatch Independently, completing any work set and watching videos on topics that you struggle with. In addition, use revision guides, annotate notes and make flashcards to help recall formulae. Revision Strategy 3: After assessments and after every mock exam login to Google Classroom to view the appropriate videos, on questions you stuck on independently. The best thing to do is to pause the video and have another go at the questions first, before watching and listening to the model solution. Ensure you a familiarizing yourself of the format of questions and the paper. 2

Year 11 – Independent Study Guide – Term 1 Key Revision Websites: • QUIZLET – self quizzing website with lots of EDEXCEL related quizzes • BBC bitesize – revision videos • https://studywise.co.uk/gcse-revision/ studywise has lots of links • http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-gcses/sciences-2016.html is the exam board website. • https://senecalearning.com/ - create own account • https://www.brainscape.com - create own account • https://www.bbc.com/education/examspecs/zqkww6f Science Google Classroom Codes: • Chemistry: • Physics: • Biology: • Triple Science: Science Revision Strategy 1: • Create cue cards – summarise sections onto small index cards and test yourself on them each day. • Use them to create summaries including key diagrams key processes in bullet pointed lists and key words and definition. Science Revision Strategy 2: Quiz cards – on google classroom is a set of quiz cards and also quick quiz questions to make your own. Use card or paper to make your own quiz cards that you can test yourself or someone can test you on. Stage 1 – weekly quizzing Take 20 cards and quiz yourself for a week. (Set 1 – daily) Remove the ones you get right at the end of the week (Set 2 weekly) and add more to make up the set of 20. Repeat this each week. Stage 2 - fortnightly At the end of every other week – test yourself on the cards removed the previous week. If you get them right – put them aside to review in a month (Set 3 – monthly) If you get them wrong – add them back to Set 1 – daily Stage 3 - monthly Every month – take the cards in Set 3 and review and test yourself. If you get them right – keep them in the monthly set 3 If you get them wrong – put them back into the Set 2 – weekly group. The idea is to move cards up to set 3, while only introducing new ones on a weekly basis. The fortnightly testing is to practice those that you may have forgotten until you place them in the monthly Set 3 The Set 3 – monthly group – this is constant review to check they recall them. Science Revision Strategy 3: MATHEMATICS MAKES UP: 20% of biology exam, 30% of chemistry exam, 40% of physics exam All should know Prefixes such as nano, micro, milli How to use standard form Calculating the gradient of a graph 7
