Revision Days
Revision Days are a great opportunity for students to spend a day on intensive examination preparation.
A Revision Day usually focuses on the content of a specific unit, e.g. Core 1, Mechanics 1. Sometimes Revision Days are for one awarding body's specification only but often students are split into groups so that the day can cover more than one specification. Most Revision Days are open to any student - please contact the Revision Day organiser to confirm whether this is the case, for details of costs and to confirm attendance.
The majority of Revision Days are hosted at a university local to the Further Mathematics Centre. This has many benefits; school and college students value greatly opportunities to experience learning in a ‘different, new and inspirational’ environment that a university can bring. Generally there is also the opportunity for students to find out more about university courses and how they can build upon the mathematics that they are learning at school/ college.
Revision Days are also an excellent professional development opportunity for teachers.
They provide a very time-efficient means for teachers to get an overview of a unit, from basic content through to addressing tricky aspects of examination questions. If you are a teacher and would like to attend a Revision Day on this basis, please contact the organiser.
