8 Assessment Structure Your final GCSE grade is assessed by external exams and coursework but we will assess your work in a variety of ways throughout the course. The aims of continuous assessment are: to allow you to monitor your progress and understanding of each topic to allow your Maths teacher to monitor your progress and understanding to identity any problem areas FREQUENT TOPIC TESTS At the end of each topic you will have a minute test in one of your lessons. These tests will be mainly multiple choice on the basics of topics you have just covered, plus a little revision. They will show you if you are keeping up with new work and remind you of basic algebraic techniques. These tests will help you monitor your progress and see if you are putting in enough work outside the classroom. ASSIGNMENTS Over the year you will have to complete a number of assignments. These consist of around 15 questions, many of which have been taken from previous exam papers. Assignments will be given to you every 2 weeks before you have covered the work in class. As the work is covered you will be able to attempt more of the questions. Each assignment is expected to be around 4 hours work. Assignments will be uploaded on the Mathematics departments blog, located at: haringeymath.wordpress.com It is your responsibility to download the assignments and print them off. YOUR SUBJECT TEACHER WILL NOT DO THIS FOR YOU The deadline for assignments is given on the front sheet. These deadlines are NON-NEGOTIABLE. It is your responsibility to hand in your work on or before the deadline date. Non-completion of assignments to a good standard, and on time, will be taken as evidence of a lack of commitment to this course. This will be treated very seriously and appropriate action will be taken. Give yourself enough time to complete the assignments set and try to establish a weekly routine for doing maths in particular give yourself enough time to visit the MATHS WORK- SHOPS (see timetable) for help well before the deadline date.
9 Progression At this stage in your education, you will already have had to make many decisions about your future career and for most of you, your choice of subjects is based upon where you intend to go, and what you intend to do, after leaving school. If you wish to continue studying maths beyond GCSE level, then you may wish to choose to study A Level Mathematics. You will need to achieve a grade A or B, however we may also decide to test your skills in algebra to determine your suitability for the Maths A Level course. For those intending to continue on to university, there are very few degree subjects for which a maths A Level would not be useful. Many degree courses do not require specific A level subjects, but, of those that do, maths is by far the subject most commonly required. The reason for this is that maths equips you with numerous transferable skills. These skills problem solving, logical thinking, conceptual ability, communication, data handling and interpretation, and research are useful in any job, and employers will recognise that you have them if you have studied maths. Apart from these general transferable skills, maths also equips you with a set of tools that are vital in many jobs. It opens up opportunities in many areas such as: banking and finance, IT and computing or accountancy and engineering to name a few.
10 Study Skills Advice You will have to take responsibility for your own programme of study, however if you are having difficulty with the understanding of the topics, your teacher will refer you to get additional support by attending the Mathematics workshops and/or attending study sessions with the faculty Learning Mentor. To ensure that you have a good grasp of a topic bear in mind the following strategies: ask your teacher during the lesson if you don t understand or if you need a point clarified... don t let the opportunity pass. visit the Maths workshops discuss your problems with your friends re-read your notes and work through examples done in class use your textbook give yourself plenty of time to do your assignments use the Mymaths resources ( and the Haringey Mathematics blog (Haringeymath.wordpress.com) for extra tutorials and interactive exercises. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT (well, almost!). It may be boring to do lots of examples of the same type of problem but rather like press-ups to build up your muscles, practising examples will build up your mental stamina and do wonders for your confidence. Simply understanding and just working through one single example will not be enough to embed difficult mathematical procedures and concepts in your mind.
11 Mathematics Workshop What the Mathematics Workshop can provide to support you Opening Times Open from: 13:00-14:00 on Monday to Thursday ALL WORKSHOPS ARE IN S5 The Mathematics workshops will be available for students to work individually or in small groups on assignments and research tasks. At all times a member of staff will be present to support you and help them with any questions that you may have about your work or about science or maths in general. The PC network has been set up with a range of useful software designed for use with specific courses or more generally for revision etc. The Centre VLE is also accessible on the network with a range of information and activities for students to use in relation to their courses. Recommended textbooks and other texts that will provide support for your studies will be kept within the book stock in the Study Centre for students to read and refer to whilst working in it. These are not to be taken out of the Centre or used at home. If you would like advice on how to borrow or obtain particular texts or sources of information then please ask a member of staff. Relevant web-sites and reading material such as the New Scientist magazine will be provided & regularly updated so that students and staff can research a particular topic or look for inspiration and ideas.
12 Health and Safety All students are required to strictly follow all Centre Health and Safety policies procedures and rules. You can read about these in your Student Diary or on the Centre Virtual Learning Environment. Very often you will be given instructions by your Personal Tutor or subject teachers about safety issues within particular areas. You should pay particular attention to the location of fire escapes and fire escape routes which are signposted around the site. Students on certain courses or subjects will have certain specific health & safety rules and procedures to learn. Expectations In addition to the timetabled lessons (4 hours per week), you will be expected to attend at least one study centre session a week, and spend at least 3 hours studying independently outside the classroom. It is essential that you put in this amount of time and don t fall behind with your work. Clearly we expect 100% attendance and punctuality, but if you miss something it is vital that you really do find out, from your teacher or fellow students, precisely what happened in the lesson missed and if any work was set before the next session. That way you will not be totally baffled and left behind.
13 Equipment You are expected to have the following equipment for EVERY LESSON. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS EQUIPMENT, YOUR CLASS TEACHER WILL NOT ADMIT YOU INTO THE CLASS Basic/Scientific calculator (preferred) Geometry set Black/blue ball point pen Pencil Eraser A4 Exercise book Assignment folder You will also need to purchase a copy of the MathsWatch DVD (a set of video tutorials) You will also be required to purchase a GCSE Maths Work book. All of the above equipment can be purchased from the Learning Resources Centre located on the ground floor.
