Maths Surgeries take place for Form 6 pupils, four mornings a week, at 8.00am. The Surgeries have been up and running since the third week in September and pupils who have attended, have been practicing exam questions for Highgate, Belmont and Consortium schools.
Here are two examples of exam questions and how to answer them:
Q.
If a car costs £16,200 and is reduced in price by 15% how much do you pay for the car?
A.
10% = £1,620
5% = £810 giving a total of £2430
£16,200 - £2430 = £13,770
.................................................................................
Q.
If 8 km = 5 miles. How many miles will 64 km be?
A.
Divide the 64 km by 8, which is 8 and multiply the 8 by 5, which is 40 miles.
.....................................................................................
The Maths Surgeries will run until the end of the exams for Form 6 pupils and then Form 5 children will be invited to join after February half term.
