Maths Core Skills Homeworks 2, 3 and 4

(0)
These documents are replicas of the Core Skills 1 model, albeit with different values to keep the students practising the 'core skill' areas of Mathematics that require students to learn methods and understand basic notation. There is no 'use and application' and the worksheets are designed to identify areas of weakness for targeted intervention. They are really useful as cover work, revision work, homework, and targeted class work.
Original SAT Maths practice paper for ages 10 to 11 covering levels 3 to 6
silvestertimsilvestertim

Original SAT Maths practice paper for ages 10 to 11 covering levels 3 to 6

(0)
These write-on papers cover a wide range of problems that are well presented and easy to mark; they comprise non-calculator and calculator assessments with questions ranging in difficulty from old Level 3 to old Level 6 based on the UK levelling system that has now been replaced. While 'levels' have been replaced, the monitoring document provides a means to evaluate the progress of a cohort or class of students, to identify strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate progress. For the age group, results which are determined as 'level 5c' or above are above national average. Level 6 would indicate 'Gifted and Talented' students in comparison to the year group, and Level 3 would identify students in need of further support and intervention.

GCSE Religious Studies self-assessment rubrics for writing extended responses
silvestertimsilvestertim

GCSE Religious Studies self-assessment rubrics for writing extended responses

(0)
These rubrics allow students to review and evaluate their own work. The 'RS Checklist for Success' is more appropriate for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 learners who are middle to lower ability, and need to learn to scaffold their own work and check for completeness, SPAG, and general presentation. We use the rubric as a support for those students who are prone to making the same basic literacy errors, and who need to develop their basic written responses. The 'RS GCSE Checklist for Success provides two tables; one for Edexcel GCSE Part c) style responses (usually requiring two points that are clearly expressed and sufficiently developed, and where a source of authority is referred to); and one for Part d) style responses which require greater depth of argument with points FOR, points AGAINST and a general balanced conclusion. While developed for RS Edexcel Specification B, the tables can easily be edited and adapted to suit any essay writing needs, to encourage self-assessment and ensure students have a framework that will support progress and success.
Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource

Maths core skills and extended skills homework or revision resource

(2)
These worksheets are designed as general practice for the basic Grade 4 (core skills) and more advanced Grade 6 (extended skills) ability ranges. There is no 'Use and Application', and they are designed purely to get students to practise the broad range of methods and knowledge required to 'do' Mathematics. They are ordered in respect of Number, Algebra, Statistics and Geometry. The 8 pages are designed to be printed onto A3 folded sheets so that students have a write on resource with minimal printing required. The Mathematics 'Help Booklet' that I offer for free, and the 'Steps for Success' document, provide guidance to students to help with the completion of these papers. The back page of the 'Help Booklet' directly references each question of Core Skills into the booklet; for example, question 1b on the Algebra page is referenced to pages 21 and 26 respectively of the Help Booklet where structured models are available to show the process of factorising linear and quadratic expressions.
