Description
A common frustration for teachers is students’ lack of retention of skills and the need to constantly re-teach skills that have been covered in previous years. Not surprisingly, this frustrates students too!
The Mathsquad Homework Program is designed to give students regular opportunities to practice the skills they are learning in class, increasing retention and the efficiency in which they can draw upon each skill.
The routine and simple expectations around the Mathsquad Homework Program also makes the standard excuses for not doing homework redundant. Less excuses means greater participation, enabling students to reap the benefits of the program.
There are three main goals of the Mathsquad Homework Program;
- To maximise students’ retention of key skills
- To communicate to students and parents which skills are fundamental to students’ learning of mathematics
- To establish positive homework routines
Mathsquad homework booklets contain weekly homework sheets that cover the same skills each week. The Foundation level mostly contains questions from the primary school level while the Core level covers Year 7 content. The homework sheets provide students with opportunities to
- Increase the efficiency in which they can carry out the skills they already know
- Identify skills that don't yet know (incredibly valuable information for teachers, students and parents)
- Track their improvements in skills over time
More information on the Mathsquad homework program, including lists of skills and strategies for implementation can be found here.
The Year 7 Homework Booklets are part of a much larger collection of free Year 7 Mathsquad Resources. These resources are listed below. Click the links to learn more about these resources.
- Daily times table warm ups
- Weekly homework sheets
- targeted skill development sheets and
- Problem solving packs
