Key Assessment is taken during weeks 11/12 and will include a selection from all topics
this term, as well as others from throughout the year.

Please note: The date given is the date which the work is being taught in class. The due date
may well be the following week and is at the individual teachers discretion.

Each homework is divided into 3 sections, A B & C.

A is for all pupils to attempt.
B is slightly harder and for most pupils to attempt.
C is the higher level work for some pupils to attempt.
(Your teacher will tell you which parts you should work up to)

ONLY SPEND AROUND 30mins! If you are struggling, try using mymaths, if this doesn’t help
then ask someone who can, preferably your maths teacher (BEFORE IT IS DUE IN!)

Almost every other week is a Mymaths based homework. These are to be done online using
your own login and password.
The initial school login is testwood and password is fraction.
Please remember to click ‘checkout’ at the end so your work is submitted.
 If you do not have the internet at home please use the learning resource centre (open until
4pm Monday – Thursday, 3.30pm Friday)
