Please be careful when buying support and revision materials for your children. Most revision guides that say AQA or Edexcel or GCSE 9 – 1 are for English specifications and the exams in England can be very different to the Welsh exam board. In Wales we follow WJEC. So GCSE Maths in England for example contains topics that are not examined in Wales and vice versa. Some revision guides are therefore no good at all, so do be careful. You could be wasting your money and your child could even be working on topics that will not come up in the exam. However, when it comes to the flashcards that I have listed below and the York Notes for their texts for English Literature there are no resources specific for WJEC so the ones included do work really well. We’ll be exploring how using volumes of cubes, cuboids and right prisms will help you to plan out a stage or arena for your large-scale event. There are a variety of tasks including getting to grips with the basics of ratios and proportion, practical skills, working with word problems, mathematical vocabulary, buddy teaching and extension activities. Make ‘×’ ‘÷’ and ‘10’, ‘100’, ‘1000’ cards to place face down in two piles. Roll a dice four times to create a number (e.g. 4258), then insert a decimal point somewhere (e.g. 42.58). Take a card from each pile and do the calculation (e.g. 42.58 ÷ 100 = 0.4258).

Finally, if your child is in year 11 or 12 and they want to study medicine, dentistry or veterinary science, or perhaps apply for Oxbridge they would normally be getting quite a lot of support with this. The final section provides guides on UCAT and BMAT tests; applying to medical school, the UCAS process etc. (The UCAT test used to be called UKCAT. Some material still has the K, some doesn’t. It is the same) Our DIY Maths Feast uses the same material as our face-to-face Maths Feast, so your students won’t gain additional benefit from attending both types of Maths Feast. Print out the resource to be used in maths books or load it onto a digital platform. It will be a great record of their learning either way. Furthermore, exams change all the time. So revision guides that were great five years ago are now out of date because the exam specifications are so different. Just be careful.

So it is natural that we are all worrying about the impact that this will have on our children. In Wales we are expecting our children to return for four weeks before they break for summer. But the reality for my son is going to be four single 2 ½ hour sessions. That’s it. And, reading between the lines, it seems as if we are being prepared for this blending of home school learning with occasional in school sessions in September too.
