Mathematics Higher Tier Year 10 & 11

We start Year 10 by further developing the students’ skills. Topics covered include: – Transformation Geometry, 2D Representation of 3D Shapes, Measures, Congruence and Similarity, Coordinates and Linear Graphs, and Real-Life Graphs. The emphasis is on learning new content and skills as well as on the application of these skills in problem solving situations. The Level 2 Certificate topic of Matrix Transformations is taught after Transformation Geometry and there is extension work for the Level 2 Certificate during the Coordinates and Linear Graphs topic. There is a topic test at the end of each topic for which the pass mark is 80%.

All Year 10 Students are set weekly homework which consists of three distinct activities: –

A Dr Frost Maths quiz of 30 questions on the current week’s work (most questions have explanatory worked examples attached so if a student has missed lessons/not fully understood the concept being taught, there is an opportunity to redress this).

A 30-minute Complete Maths quiz based on the last months’ worth of lessons.

30 minutes on Complete Maths TUTOR revising previous content, we start with the Year 9 content.

After we have completed the previous term’s work, we then move onto studying the following topics: – Pythagoras and Trigonometry, Quadratics Rearranging Formulae, Identities, Functions, Linear and Quadratic Equations and Graphs, Ratio and Proportion and finally we study Direct and Inverse Proportion. The emphasis is on learning new content and skills as well as on the application of these skills in problem solving situations. The extension work for the Level 2 Certificate occurs during Pythagoras and Trigonometry, Quadratics Rearranging Formulae, Identities, and Functions. There is a topic test at the end of each topic for which the pass mark is 80%.

30 minutes on Complete Maths TUTOR revising previous content, we aim to complete the Year 9 content.

After we have completed the previous term’s work, we then move onto studying the following topics: – Collecting and Representing Data, Statistical Measures, Scatter Graphs and Probability. The emphasis is on learning new content and skills as well as on the application of these skills in problem solving situations. The extension work for the Level 2 Certificate is the stand-alone topic of Calculus. There is a topic test at the end of each topic for which the pass mark is 80%.

30 minutes on Complete Maths TUTOR revising previous content, we look at the Year 10 content.

After we have completed the previous term’s work, we then move onto studying the following topics: – Inequalities, Growth and Decay, Numerical Methods, Simultaneous Equations, Equation of a Circle, Further Equations and Graphs, Circle Theorems and Algebraic Fractions. The emphasis is on learning new content and skills as well as on the application of these skills in problem solving situations. The extension work for the Level 2 Certificate occurs during Inequalities Simultaneous Equations, Equation of a Circle, Further Equations and Graphs, Circle Theorems and Algebraic Fractions.

30 minutes on Complete Maths TUTOR revising previous content, we complete the Year 10 content.

After we have completed the previous term’s work, we then move onto studying the following topics: – Sketching Graphs, Transforming Functions, Gradients and Rates of Change, Pre-Calculus and Area under a Curve, Sine and Cosine Rules and finally Vectors. The emphasis is on learning new content and skills as well as on the application of these skills in problem solving situations. The extension work for the Level 2 Certificate occurs during Sketching Graphs and Sine and Cosine Rules. There is a topic test at the end of each topic for which the pass mark is 80%.

All Year 11 Students are set weekly homework which consists of a Churchill paper. The aim is to achieve as many marks as possible, this is an open book exercise and the expected mark is 70 out of 80, this will take longer than the 90 minutes allowed for a paper.
