Use the Century tech website https://app.century.tech/login/ to search topics that you have missed or found difficult via the ‘my courses’ tab. Weekly homework is set on this platform. Login details are provided at the start of the academic year.
Key Stage 4
Exam Board: Pearson Edexcel
How To Revise Maths
1. Use flashcards or a notepad to make notes on key facts/formulae that you need to memorise. You could use a revision guide or checklist to help you find these facts
2. Repeatedly test your knowledge of these facts (self-quiz or get a parent/sibling/friend to quiz you)
3. Practise exam papers and identify topics in need of attention. You can buy packs of practice papers. You can also find free Edexcel papers on mathsgenie.com and corbettmaths.com. If you're in Year 10, only focus on the Foundation Tier for now until you've covered enough content on Higher Tier.
4. If you get stuck when doing a practice paper, ask your teacher for help or use online videos to learn those topics (on century.tech, mathsgenie.com or corbettmaths.com)
5. Use a revision workbook (any Pearson Edexcel book) or website (eg. century.tech or maths genie) to practise the topics that you need to improve on so you don’t make the same mistake again on the next test that contains these topics
Key Stage 5
Use www.uplearn.co.uk to revise previously taught topics and complete pre-learning for upcoming topics. Uplearn is set for homework every week but can also be used as an independent learning resource. Students should watch the videos and complete quizzes in order to boost their Up Score and gain XP.
