In this mathematics course, our lessons consist of four main components:
Every week, students complete a 20-minute mini test with a review immediately after the completion of the test.
Week 1: Factor and Multiples
Week 2: Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiples
Week 3: Measurement and Perimeter
Week 4: Area
Week 5: Addition and Subtraction of Fractions
Week 6: Multiplication and Division of Fractions
Week 7: Percentages of a Quantity
Week 8: Problem Solving Techniques
Week 9: Problem Solving Techniques
Week 10: Assessment Task
Students will be attempting to solve harder problems that are similar to the harder problems found in the Opportunity Class placement school examination. This part of the lesson teaches students a wide range of problem-solving techniques, preparing them to systematically and flexibly solve new problems that they may encounter in the selective school examination.
Homework aims to consolidate the topic focus area, allowing students to gain confidence and accuracy in their mathematics. To assist students in completing their homework, videos explaining the harder questions of the homework are accessible to students through the Eduvision Portal.
