Math Sites:
https://www.mathsisfun.com/ for excellent notes.
http://www.manvsmaths.com/ for PDF revision and notes.
https://www.transum.org/ is great if you know what you want to learn. It is best to search "Transum algebra solving" or "Transum parallel lines" rather than navigate the site. Do not pay for Transum, there is heaps for free.
https://learncoach.com/ has free videos and free PDF documents. Like Transum, do NOT pay for it.
https://sites.google.com/view/2019math/home is Ms Allan's site from 2019 teaching year 9 and 10 secondary school students. There are also 2018 and 2017 sites. These have good links to transum.
https://sites.google.com/view/lizsneddon/year-9-and-10 by Liz Sneddon is awesome for statistics.
Many secondary teachers create videos of past NCEA papers and more. Google is a great way to find them.

General Overview of Resources:
General Overview of Resources:
Google classroom (or similar) may hold the course outline, assessment dates and resources.
You teacher may have their own site, check what digital resources are available.
Textbooks.
Workbooks.
Share the good resources you find, work as a team.
Ask yourself:
Do I know when the assessments are?
Do I know what topic we are doing
Do I have a check list of what is in the upcoming test?
Are there past tests that I can work through?
Have I made notes?
Have I discovered the cause of my mistakes? Working through past tests can highlight your gaps in knowledge, this allows you to learn what you need to learn.
Assessments:
Assessments can be tests, assignments or presentations.
Is it a group or individual task?
How is it marked? Is your teacher marking it, or is it peer assessed? Online auto marked?
How is it graded? For example are you given a Curriculum Level or an Achieved, Merit or Excellence Grade.
What do the grades mean? For example, in year 9 you should be at least at level 4 of the NZC.
Sometimes it helps to know if the assessment is going to be reported on. Work load issues can impact on your capacity to put 100% into everything you do. Sometimes you need to prioritize the assessments that matter the most.
Do not STRESS about your grades. Look at the big picture, are you improving? Do you get anxious during assessments? If so you can google ideas to improve your mindset. Tips & Tricks
Reflection after tests and assessments:
Did my study help my grade?
Did I study the wrong thing?
What did I do that worked well, that I want to keep doing?
How can I learn from this in order to do better next time?
NCEA Level 1 is NZC Level 6:
NCEA Level 1 is NZC Level 6:
What will be different in Year 9?
What will be different in Year 9?
The biggest change is that you will have lots of teachers in lots of different classrooms. These teachers may not work the same way as each other. No one person can give you your assessment dates. You will have "option subjects" that will be different to others in the same class. YOU need to use a diary. YOU need to know what is going on. I suggest Google Calendar. You will be expected to manage your homework time and to know when things are due. If you are disorganized you could get quite overwhelmed with "surprise" tests and assignments that are not handed in and are therefore graded as such. So my advice to you is have a PLAN, how are you going to know what is going on? Maybe you work best with others, maybe you want to form a homework group and help each other with organization.
