After going through the vocabulary we are going to get the opportunity to practise our speaking together to further our conversational skills. 

A polygon is a 2D shape with at least 3 sides. Polygons can be regular or irregular. If all angles and sides of a polygon are equal, the polygon is categorised as a regular polygon. Typical GCSE questions involve students being able to find missing angles in a variety of polygons. In this lesson students will learn how to find missing angles in any polygon by applying what they know about the sum of angles in a triangle and a quadrilateral.

This lesson follows on from the basic introduction to the past tense. In this lesson, the past tense is revised, before students take part in a conversation around the topic of daily routine / the school day, using a mixture of past and present tense. You will also get a chance to practise your speaking, so you can carry out your German conversations in the past tense.

A bearing is an angle, measured clockwise from the north direction. Bearings are often used to describe direction (North, East, South, West), and a real-life example of this is ships using bearings to navigate around the ocean. In this lesson students will learn how to describe and draw bearings and finally use their knowledge of bearing to find missing angles.

In this session, students will be introduced to the concept of 3D shapes by using examples of everyday life. They will learn how 3D shapes are classified and what are the different components of 3D shapes. Students will also be taught about the concept of cross-section of 3-D shapes in an interesting and dynamic way! 

Students will be able to define what is meant by factors and multiples and in turn use prime factorisation (factor trees) and Venn diagrams to find the Highest common factor and Lowest common multiple of two numbers. Students will then be able to apply this skill to worded problems. The relevance of prime factorisation to the real world is very important to people who try to make (or break) secret codes based on numbers. That is because factoring very large numbers is very hard, and can take computers a long time to do. If you want to know more, the subject is "encryption" or "cryptography".

In this class your SkyMath tutor is going to teach you about one of the most essential mathematical topics that you will find in daily life - Percentages!  Firstly students are going to learn the theory and then most importantly in this topic there is the chance to solve plenty of different word problems surrounding percentages.  Word problems can be challenging, therefore correct comprehension of these in regards to percentages is important for students to excel in this topic.  

In this session, students will be introduced to the concept of rounding numbers and how to round numbers to a certain place value. They will also learn how to round decimal numbers to certain number of decimal places 

In mathematics, the difference of two squares is a squared number subtracted from another squared number.

Box plots are a convenient way of visually displaying data. A box plot is split into 4 quartiles, and key information such as the average (median), smallest and largest values of a data set and percentiles can be spotted immediately. Additionally, Box plots can provide information about the spread of data and hence show how consistent a data set is, thus making it a useful statistical tool for comparing data sets. Box plots can be created from a list of numbers by ordering the numbers and finding the median and lower and upper quartiles.

Ratios are a part of everyday life, whether students are buying a pizza or calculating coordinates on a map. In this important class students will learn how to define what is meant by a ratio and split a quantity in a given ratio. As a topic ratios are found in all ability papers, therefore is an important topic to study to succeed in Maths.

Join your tutor Mr Salian to practise finding the perimeter of 2D shapes leaving you in good stead to move onto more complex challenges that students will face in further topics.  

In this class you are going to learn about transformations.  Transformations change the size or position of shapes. A reflection is a type of transformation. It 'maps' one shape onto another. When a shape is reflected a mirror image is created. If the shape and size remain unchanged, the two images are congruent (Exactly the same). In this lesson you will learn how to draw a mirror line, as well as reflect shapes on coordinate axis. Students will also learn about diagonal reflections which take place in the lines y = x and y = - x. Finally, students will be shown how to describe a reflection that maps one shape onto another

In this class students will learn how to factorise quadratic equations. They will use prior knowledge of factorising linear equations and build on this. Factorising quadratic equations will enable students to find the roots/solutions of a quadratic curve. The roots/solutions tell us the points at which the curve intersects the x-axis. This can be beneficial to businesses if they graph their price against their profits as shown in the image below. Using the curve, a business will be able to find it’s profit maximising price as well as the prices where they will make no profits.  

In this fantastic 2 part LIVE class your SkyMath tutor will discuss the most crucial circle theorems.

Theory and typical exam exercises will be considered.   This important topic in Maths is one that many students struggle with, this is the perfect class to revise the topic.  

Transformations change the size or position of shapes. A translation is a type of transformation. A translation moves a shape up, down or from side to side but it does not change its appearance in any other way. To translate shapes in the correct direction, students will learn about vector notations, which give information about the direction in which the vertices of a shape will need to be moved. Once familiar with vector notation, translations become a relatively straight forward transformation which will enable students sitting the foundation or higher GCSE paper to pick up ‘easy marks’. 

The elementary method of solving quadratic equations is through factorisation. However, some quadratic equations cannot be solved using this method. This lesson introduces students to a more advanced method of solving quadratic equations, through ‘completing the square’. Completing the square is a grade 7-9 skill, therefore this lesson will be of great use for students aiming to achieve marks on the latter parts of the GCSE paper. 

In this session, students will be introduced to the concept of surds and how they can be related to fractional indices.

In this session, students will understand the circumstances under which you get terminating decimals and recurring decimals. Also, they will learn to convert terminating decimals and recurring decimals into fractions. Decimals is an important topic to understand in Maths before students are able to move onto more challenging areas, therefore it is essential to fully comprehend the theory and practices of decimals early on. 

With the impact of globalisation, businesses and countries are more intertwined than ever before. British companies may use Chinese suppliers for their raw materials and Chinese manufactures may buy oil in dollars to run their factories. With the growth of trade and multiple currencies being exchanged between nations, calculating the exchange rate of currencies is a must in the modern global economy. Furthermore, with an increase in travel, individuals will also need to have a good understanding of exchange rates when going on holiday or purchasing foreign goods to get value for their money. In this lesson, you will learn how to make currency conversions which will be both beneficial in the real world and for those taking GCSE examinations.  

Algebraic fractions are a grade 7 and above topic which require students to simplify expressions that involve fractions. This topic appears regularly in the GCSE Higher Maths Exams and needs to be mastered for students seeking to go on to study A-levels. Simplifying algebraic fractions works in the same way as simplifying normal fractions. A common factor must be found and divided throughout.
