  • Help your child make a plan.
  • Keep distractions to a minimum
  • Make sure your child does their own work.
  • Be a motivator and monitor.
  • Set a good example.
  • Praise their work and efforts.
  • If there are continuing problems with homework,

get help.

SHORT TERM vs LONG TERM MEMORY

The aim of revision is to help move info from short term memory which can only hold a short amount, into your long term memory which can hold much more.

GCSE exams will require more info than they can store in their short term! THIS TAKES TIME!

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Revision is a process that needs to be:

  • active
  • repetitive
  • focused

What can you do to help and support your child with Maths?

The more maths pupils do, the better they will become – Please encourage them to practise as much as possible. Support with homework & watch the help videos with them - www.hegartymaths.com and the PiXL Maths App. Ensure past exam questions are completed (Y10 & Y11). Encourage weekly revision: www.onmaths.com www.mrbartonmaths.com www.corbettmaths.com Ensure that they have their own calculator.
