Have fun!

Oh, I just use note cards.

That helps for remembering terms. In classes like Geometry, and Trigonometry, you really need to memorize terms.

However, with the solving problems, all you can do is practice practice practice!

Do some old problems from your old homework assignments, or something.

ooh, I did my coursework on those.

Histograms are bar graphs that have no gaps between the bars and the bars can be varying widths- you measure the area, not height.

4 and 3 point moving averages I don't know about.

Scatter graphs- A graph with loads of plotted results. You usually have to draw a line of best fit in, which is a straight line that passes along where the averages would be.

mean- another word for average. Sum of all values divided by the number of values

median- the middle value. The numer closest to the middle of the gap between your highest and lowest values

mode- the number that turns up the most

To be honest, a good maths textbook should help you better.

And did you say you were doin GCSEs?

Well you're just an evil supergenius then

I did maths early too. But I was still wondering. I want to see how teaching is like in state school. By the sound of it, there not willing to teach extra-curricular lessons to let people catch up.

I know that in my old school district (Which happens to be the best public school district in the state of Oklahoma), they have after school tutoring every Friday.

See, they have this thing called "Early Release".

On Fridays, if you have good grades, and you don't need tutoring, you can get out of school 45 minutes early.

If you need tutoring, meaning that your grades are low, or you just feel you need help with something, you stay.

Oh, and if you're a naughty child, they make you stay too!

Mad

It's a good thing I never was caught being bad. LOL!
