Helping Year 11 revise

After the SL day in February Fred circulated the questions that could be used by year 11 to categorise the types of questions they could be asked and then to devise strategies for answering them. These are available from this link: http://www.wiltshire-ast.co.uk/media/maths-documents/index.php
A quick summary of the topics is as follows:
Percentage questions
A to D grade factorising questions
Percentage right and wrong
Ratio and proportion questions
Similar shapes, circle theorems and sectors (also answers available.)

You may want to direct students to the sites listed as "Revision sites" on the left of this page. Check them yourself first though, some of them, like Kangaroo maths, might need some explanation as to how to navigate to what you want them to look at. Some, (Kangaroo maths again) include the answers too so you might want to keep this secret if you are going to use the resources as tests/homework tasks.
