Students in Year 7-9 Mathematics commenced the term studying Chance and Probability and will have their exam for this next week, in Week 4. They have been involved with many hands-on games of chance in class to help consolidate their understanding.

Year 7 students will have their exam in their first Maths lesson next week and Year 8 and 9 students will have their exam in the their last Maths lesson of the week.

A few things to remember about exams:

1. Do not stress and be prepared, by revising key concepts from work in class and homework. Teachers have set numerous revision activities either online or from the Cambridge Maths textbook which every student has a login for. If your child can't access this amazing resource, please tell them to ask their teacher for assistance.

2. Ask questions or attend a tutorial during WIN time if students need more one on one support.

3. Exams are closed book activities and require a pen, pencil, eraser and calculator. Ipads will not be allowed to be used during an exam.

4. If a student has a planed absence on the day of their exam or are absent on the day parents/carers are required to complete and sign the "Assessment Extension Form" and email it to the Head of Department, Mrs Russell, txrus5@eq.edu.au. A catch up exam will then be organised. This form can be found on SharePoint.

I wish all students the very best in their exams next week.

Mrs Russell, Head of Department - Mathematics
