Mathematics Mastery

Summary

This unit builds on earlier Units 10 and 13, developing further the mastery of this area of mathematics through the use of context and reasoning skills. Density and pressure are explored and calculated following a recap of prior learning of fractions, decimal and percentages. Ratios of the lengths, areas and volumes of similar shapes are explored and used to solve problems in context, with units being converted as appropriate. Velocity time graphs are drawn and their gradients and the area under the graph are interpreted in context. Directly and inversely proportional relationships are recognised and interpreted and, where appropriate, represented algebraically. Compound interest is explored and students set up, solve and interpret real-life problems. The unit closes by considering growth and decay problems in context; setting up and solving problems through repeated calculations (rather than using a formula) and interpreting the solutions.

The motivation and dedication of GCSE tutees has secured them some good grades that I personally feel they would not have attained without the PG approach.
