KS3 Mathematics Homework Pack E: Level 7

Teacher’s Notes
This pack is intended to cover all of the topics required at Level 7 of the National Curriculum.
The pack can be used in a variety of ways:

• As a homework pack – The pack provides 30 homeworks for Level 7. The homework
sheets can be attempted in any order to fit in with the school’s scheme of work. The pack
can then be used again for revision shortly before the Key Stage 3 tests.

• As a classroom resource – The pack can be used:

– To provide class tests at the end of the topic.
– For class revision.
– As a battery of tests in preparation for the Key Stage 3 tests. The tests will highlight
any weaknesses.
– As a worksheet resource bank.

• As supplementary material – The pack can be used by students after school or in lessons.
Worksheets can be supplied to students who wish to do extra work.

• As a pupil profiling pack – The pack contains a recording sheet which can be used to
provide a profile of each pupil. This can be extremely useful at Key Stage 3. Teachers are
expected to be able to identify the students’ weaknesses and strengths. The Profile Sheet
simplifies the process and worksheets provide evidence:
Profile sheet: Individual assessment (page 40)
This can be used to record the marks of each student on each homework sheet. Marks for
each topic can be totalled, eg ‘Patterns’ total the marks for Worksheets 10 and 11 and
use the mark/grade converter on the profile sheet to produce a grade, ie 20 or above =
A, 16 or above = B, etc. An A or B grade would indicate a strength, a D or E would ..
indicate a weakness. This will produce a complete profile of each pupil.
Profile sheet: Class assessment (page 41)
A simpler alternative is to use the profile sheet for class assessment. This can be used in
the same way as a normal mark book. A vertical column of poor marks would alert the
teacher to a difficult topic for the whole class. A horizontal line of poor marks would alert
the teacher to a particular student’s difficulties.
Strengths and weaknesses for a particular student can easily be identified. This makes it
easy to advise a student about areas requiring careful revision.
In the event of a parental enquiry or an OFSTED inspection, it is a simple task to transfer
marks from the class assessment sheets to the individual assessment sheet.

Using the speed marking system

1 First photocopy the answer pages.
2 Cut out the answers for the page to be marked. (You may find it quicker to fold the
answer page for most worksheets.)
3 Place the answers in the marked section of the student worksheet.

Minimum mark 9 7 6 3
Circle grade A B C D E 12

Use this box to convert the mark to a grade if you wish

(In general A = 80% B = 65% C = 50% D = 35%)

Unlike most answer pages, the answer will be next to the student’s answer to allow marking to
be carried out more quickly.
The system is designed to allow the student to answer on the worksheet itself. However, in the
majority of worksheets, it is possible for the student to answer on blank A4 paper. This will
allow the worksheet to be re-used.
