Year 11 problem solving and GCSE exam practice starters: the 10 questions
How to use these Year 11 problem solving and GCSE exam practice starters
First, give yourself about 30 seconds for each question. Then write the answer down before you check it. If an answer is wrong, look at the problem solving and GCSE exam practice lesson again. After that, move on to the problem solving and GCSE exam practice worksheet for longer questions.
Finally, repeat these starters a few days later, because regular practice makes the facts automatic. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
