On the day of the test, follow the exam "Golden Rules":

3. Show your working
4. Try & have fun.

Useful Websites

As well as www.mymaths.co.uk, there are many other useful websites out there. Some that I think are particularly useful, interesting or have some fabulous games are:

www.coolmath4kids.com

www.subtangent.com

MyMaths.co.uk

The school has now registered with the maths website www.mymaths.co.uk. This should help students to structure their maths work and enable parents to see how they are progressing. Each student has already been given a letter explaining how to access the materials at home.

Each of the lessons in the library has an Online Homework. Students will be directed to do these tasks by their teacher.

Instructions for Log In:
Go to www.mymaths.co.uk
Enter the school login and password (provided by your teacher).
On the next page enter your private login and password in the pink 'My Portal' box. 

If you have been set a task by their teacher the task will appear under MyTasks. You must complete both pages of the Online Homework for the scores to be saved to the database.
Other activities may also appear under MyActivities. If no lessons are appearing then you have a Pop-Up Blocker installed. You MUST allow to use Pop-Ups.

You can see all your results by clicking MyResults. There is a system of Traffic Lights for each of the Tasks to indicate how successful you have been.

If a green light appears next to a topic = good skills in this area.
If an amber light appears  = still have difficulties.
If a red light appears  = go back and relearn the topic. Try the Lesson again or ask your teacher for help.

Have fun!

Multiplication Tables


If you're not confident with all your multiplication facts, try practising with this grid. Print it out & complete it as quickly as possible.
You could even time yourself using the timer we use in class.
