Revision Support

Guide

Name:

Tutor group:

Research shows us that we

remember... 20% of what we read

30% of what we hear

40% of what we see

50% of what we say 60% of what we do

… and 90% of what we

and

So you need to use a variety of revision techniques to

make sure you remember as much as possible.

How do I revise?

Making notes or revision cards summarising key points.

Writing questions and answers on a topic — get someone to test you or cover up the answers and test yourself.

Making up a mnemonic to remember a list e.g. the order of the planets

Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto

My Very Early Morning Jam Sandwich

Usually Nauseates People

Try the activities on www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

(click on KS3)

Make a mind map or spider diagram showing all of the information on a topic. Stick it on your bedroom wall or somewhere prominent.

Spend some time explaining it to someone else.

Repeat lists or processes over and over again.

You could try writing them down or record yourself saying them and play it back repeatedly.

Practise exam type questions.

Ask for teacher for these or use KS3 revision guides.

Remember, just reading through your work is the worst way to revise!

Planning your revision

Planning your revision is essential as it allows you to take control of your learning and not get too stressed. It is not as easy as it sounds as to revise really well, you need to plan in detail and make sure that your revision is spread across all subjects.

Remember, 30 minute sessions of revision are best and you should then take a little break. It is better to revise for 1 to 2 hours each day over a long period of time, rather than cram all of your revision into one night.

On the next page, you will find a revision matrix. On each day, you should shade in the subjects you have covered on that day. This may be through revision in lessons, revision during study support or revision at home. You should try to make sure you have an even spread of subjects across the matrix.

Transform shapes by

(Grade 2)

o Reflecting – in a stated mirror line on an axis o Rotating – through a stated number of degrees about a

given point o Translating – given a vector o Enlarging – by a positive integer scale factor but with no

centre specified o Enlarging – by a positive integer scale factor with a centre

specified (Grade 3)

o Enlarging – by a positive integer scale factor with a centre specified

Describe transformations of shapes by

(Grade 2)

o Reflections – mirror line o Translations – distance and direction (including

using vector notation) o Rotations – centre and angle

(Grade 3)

o Enlargement – centre and scale factor o Reflection – finding the equation of a line o Rotation – finding the centre of rotation and measure the

angle of rotation using right angles o Translation – using of a clear explanation of direction and

distance (Grade 4-5)

o Rotation – finding the centre of rotation and measure the angle of rotation using simple fractions of a turn or degrees

o Translating – finding the vector, using and understanding column vector notation

o Enlargement – finding the centre of enlargement and identifying the scale factor as the ratio of the lengths of two corresponding sides or line segments


• BIDMAS – Brackets, Indices, Division/Multiplication, Addition/Subtraction

• Know the location and how to use the key buttons on your calculator for creating; powers, roots, negative numbers, fractions

• Rules for area and perimeter: o Area of a rectangle or square = length x width o Perimeter of a rectangle or square = (length + width) x 2 o Area of a triangle = ½ x base x height o Area of a parallelogram or rhombus = base x height o Area of a trapezium = ½ (top + bottom) x height o Area of a circle = π r2 o Circumference of a circle = π d o Area of a sector = 𝜃𝜃

360 x π r2

o Length of a sector = 𝜃𝜃360

x π d

• Rules for finding the volume: o Volume of cube or cuboid = length x width x depth o Volume of a prism = area of the cross section x depth

(use the rules above for area to find the area of the cross section – the shape that goes all the way through the prism) o Volume of a cylinder = π r2 x depth

• Probabilities can only be given using fractions, percentages or decimals • Probabilities add up to 1 • The probability of something happening (p) and not happening (1-p) add up to 1

• If you are asked to estimate or approximate an answer round everything to 1 significant figure

• Metric conversions

• Angle Facts

o Angles on a straight line equal 180° Angles around a point equal 360° o Angles in a triangle equal 180° Opposite angles are equal o Sum of interior angles is (n-2) x 180 Each interior angle is (n-2) x 180 ÷ n o Sum of exterior angles for any shape is 360° o Corresponding angles are equal / Alternate angles are equal / Supplementary angles equal

180° o Angles sat on the same chord in the same segment are equal o Angles in a semicircle are 90° o When two angles are on the same chord the one at the centre is twice the one at the

circumference

Best revision techniques for this subject are…

• There is so much to memorise and use in maths that the best way to revise is to practice, practice and practice some more, do not just sit and read your exercise book.

• Find lots of questions which give you the opportunity to practice the skills learnt, especially when the question is not straight forward and you need to unpick what all the words are actually asking you to do.

• Use your memorisation skills learnt in Spanish to help you memorise all the formulae needed for maths.
