Corbettmaths Year 9 Revision

[Kayleen Dauteuil]

Probablylike most schools, we hold lunchtime and after school revision sessions, as well as recap revision lessons in class before important exams such as termly, end-of-year and even external exams.

One of the my favourite uses over the year was in the final approach to the actual exams. At this point student were confident in highlighting their strengths/weaknesses from extensive past papers and assessment, they would visit the display and use the card but also the QR code for the videos and questions to spend 20-30 minutes solidly working on the needed topics. The display became such a big part of revision that some students would bring their own sets of the revision cards into lessons.

This display covers around 40 of the 90 cards, with another display at the back of the classroom. As the QR codes are an important part of the display, I actually used two sets to make the display, one showing the front the card and another beneath it showing the back. The display took around 30 minutes in total to make.

The beauty of Corbettmaths lies in its accessibility. The majority of resources on the platform are completely free, helping students dive into a world of mathematical exploration without breaking the bank.

However, for those looking to take their learning to the next level, Corbettmaths also offers premium physical materials such as revision cards and workbooks. A pack of 93 revision cards will set you back 10.99, including a video tutorial and practice questions. For a 5-a-day book covering the entire year, expect to pay around 15.99.

Students praise the Corbettmaths 5-a-day challenge for its effectiveness and accessibility. With a structured yet flexible approach to learning, the daily challenge ensures students regularly engage with mathematical concepts in a meaningful way.

The daily variety keeps learning engaging and also ensures comprehensive coverage of key topics. Plus, with the option to choose from different difficulty levels (ranging from basic numeracy to higher tiers and Further Maths), students of all abilities can participate and progress at their own pace.

The amount of time you should dedicate to maths revision depends on various factors, including your current level of understanding, the complexity of the material, how close exams are, and your learning style.
