Starting Year 12 soon? If A Level or AS Maths are something you'd like to study but you want to make sure you're ready for the big step up, join me on my summer course!

Strictly limited to 5 students!

Looking forward to starting the new year 🀩

GCSE Maths is over for another year!

I'm so proud of my students, they've put in so much effort and made amazing progress. It's sad to see them all leave Clever Owl Maths, but it's also exciting to be welcoming lots of new students in the next few weeks!

This is what will be starting later this month:

πŸ¦‰GCSE Maths Mastery - for Year 9-11 students aiming for grade 7+

πŸ¦‰ Grade 4 Success Pathway - for Year 9-11 students aiming for grade 4-5 at the Foundation tier

πŸ¦‰ A Level Maths Mastery - for Year 13 students

And later in the year there will be:

πŸ¦‰ A Level Success Pathway - for Year 12 students

πŸ¦‰ Monthly workshops

It's exciting to be almost fully booked for some year groups already! If you're thinking of getting in touch about tuition for next year, don't wait until September. My new tuition programmes start in just a couple of weeks 🀩

I made a YouTube video!

With one week to go, now isn't the time for trying to relearn entire long topics. Students need short tips and quick wins to get them an extra couple of marks on the exam papers. This is exactly what I've aimed for on this video.

Please do share with any students sitting their GCSE Maths exams this year, and do encourage them to let me know which other topics they need a few little tips on!

Yesterday I shared my top 6 topics for Foundation GCSE Maths. Here are the ones that I would focus on as a Higher student.

There's a lot more content to learn for our Higher Year 11s, but if you can ace these then you're all but guaranteed a decent chunk of marks on the exams.

Solving equations - practice all types, especially quadratics and simultaneous equations.

Geometry problem solving - practice a variety of questions on trigonometry, circle theorems, volume, surface area, area and perimeter.

Statistical diagrams - histograms is a very common exam topic, and lots of marks are lost because students get confused between things like cumulative frequency diagrams and frequency polygons. Take a bit of time to familiarise yourself with all of the different diagrams and how to plot them.

Stuck on something in particular? Let me know and I'll see how I can help!

Not long left to go for our Year 11 students!

If it was me about to sit the Foundation GCSE exams, these are the 6 topics that I would make sure I was super confident with. You're highly likely to see all of these on the Foundation GCSE papers, so if any of them are causing you trouble, now is the time to fix that.

Need help? Let me know what you're struggling with in the comments or message me and let's see what we can do to boost those grades!

My Foundation GCSE group were working on metric unit conversions yesterday. It's a topic that lots of students struggle with, and it appears on the exam papers very often!

I always tell my students that having something relatable as an example of what the units actually mean is really helpful, as then it's a lot easier to know whether to multiply or divide when converting between them.

For example, I know that my height is 1.58m and I also know that my height is 158cm. So I've got an easy to remember example of whether the number increases or decreases when changing between metres and centimetres.

I starting using a new gym app today and after my workout it told me that I lifted the equivalent of a pickup truck πŸ˜‚ that's my new favourite example of something measure in kg!

What does your Sunday look like?

Mine is testing out my shiny new writing tablet while attempting to eat healthily and get in some steps to counter all the Easter goodies that have been consumed over the last fortnight!

I'm also sorting out the brand new premium Dr Austin Maths resources for my Higher GCSE and GCSE Maths Momentum students, they'll be amazing for topic based practice in these last few weeks before the exams start!

🐣🐰 Happy Easter weekend! 🐰🐣

There are so many ways to bring maths into the holiday activities!

If you want to do some actual revision, for GCSE students or KS3/4 students, then the Transum Maths website has some *eggcellent* options. My personal favourite is the Easter Egg Hunt Maze.

For more fun activities that don't feel like maths but are still using those skills, you could try:

🐰 Baking has so many mathematical elements! It uses proportions, ratio, converting units of measure and accurate measuring.

🐰 Egg hunting is obviously counting, but you could go one step further and create a "treasure map" that gets the children practicing coordinates too.

🐰 Lots of art and craft activities can bring mathematical thinking in as well. For example pattern recognition and sequences. Puzzle books and similar activities also use lots of maths skills.

Let me know how you're spending your Easter weekend!

🐰 Happy Easter holidays! 🐰

Most of my students are now having 2 weeks off tuition, but my GCSE Maths Momentum students will be continuing their tasks and tuition sessions, working super hard throughout!

I'm also aiming to share some top tips and common mistakes on here over the holidays, so please do share with any parents of Year 11s who may find it useful!

I hope everyone has a fab weekend 😊
