Support arrangements in your subject this year:
Students are able to attend mathematics advice
club to get support with homework or classwork;
this takes place once a week at lunchtime.
Students with low skills in mathematics receive
additional support in lessons as well as in small
intervention groups. This is an excellent
opportunity for students to build their confidence
in the subject and to become more fluent in key
number skills. In addition to this GCSE revision
sessions will take place in the spring and summer
terms in the lead up to exams.

Opportunities for stretch and challenge in your
subject this year:
Throughout KS4, pupils will learn to develop their
problem solving and mathematical reasoning skills,
as there will be a greater emphasis on these in the
new GCSEs. Enthusiastic mathematicians who have
already developed significant skills will have the
opportunity to compete in the UKMT national
mathematics competitions, both individually and
as a team. In addition, there will be lunch time
sessions during which students will practise solving
stimulating mathematical challenges.
How can you support your child in this subject?
You can take an active role in helping your child
develop their numeracy skills. You can do this by
ensuring that your child has a set amount of time
every week to learn and revise their times tables
and work on the key skills of addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division with whole numbers,
decimals, fractions and ratios. There are resources
to support you with this; Cheshunt school
subscribes to the website ‘mymaths.co.uk’ which is
an excellent online resource which students can
use to revise, learn new material and practise the
skills they have learned in lessons. This website is
sometimes used to set homework, however
students can still use the site to support them with
any paper based homework as well as to revise the
work covered in class.
The website can be accessed with the following
details:
username: cheshunt
password: equation
Students will be given a second level username and
password unique to them.
