Why do an Ester Revision course in Maths at Ashbourne College?

Students will benefit from the individual attention which is a key feature of the Ashbourne Easter Revision programme.

There will be revision in the following areas

  • Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing number (whole numbers, intergers, fractions, decimals and numbers in index form, negative numbers)
  • Ordering rational numbers, including integers, decimal and fractions
  • Identifying factors, multiples and prime numbers, and finding the prime factor decomposition of positive integers, finding common factors and common multiples
  • Square and square root (positive and negative), and cube and cube root, using index notation
  • Index laws for multiplication and division of integer, fractional and negative powers, and interpret, order and calculate with numbers in
  • Fractions: finding equivalent fractions, simplifying a fraction, adding and subtracting fractions, using decimal notation
  • Percentage: compare proportions and repeated proportional change, as well as direct and indirect proportion
  • Ratios: using them and writing them in their simplest form, and writing a given quantity into a given ratio
  • The hierarchy of operations, including inverse operations
  • Surds in exact calculations
  • Calculating upper and lower bounds
  • Manipulating algebraic expressions by collecting like terms, multiplying a single term bracket, factorising quadratic expressions and simplifying rational expressions
  • Setting up and solving simple equations including simultaneous equations in two unknowns
  • Solving quadratic equations
  • Formula: deriving one, substituting numbers and changing the subject
  • Solving line inequalities in one or two variables, and represent the solution using a coordinate grid
  • Generate terms of a sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of the sequence
  • Finding and using the nth term of an arithmetic sequence using linear expressions

  • Interpreting and analyzing graphs
  • Drawing and plotting a range of mathematical functions, including cubic functions, the exponential function, the circular function.

  • Properties of angles at a point, angles on a straight line (including right angles) perpendicular lines, and opposite angles at a vertex
  • The angle properties of parallel lines, triangles and quadrilaterals
  • Calculating and using the sums of the interior and exterior angles of polygons
  • The properties and definitions of special types of quadrilateral, including square, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezium, kite and rhombus

  • Understanding and constructing geometrical proofs usingcircle theorem
  • Using 2-D representation of 3-D shapes
  • Describing and transforming 2-D shapes using single or combined rotations, reflections, translations, or enlargements by a positive, fractional or negative scale factor and distinguish properties that are preserved under particular transformations
  • Carrying out constructions, including constructing loci
  • Calculate perimeters and areas of shapes made from triangles, rectangles and other shapes
  • Using vectors to solve problems
  • The effect of enlargement for perimeter, area and volume of shapes and solids
