Walking Talking Mock foundation

Service Description

🚶‍♀️ Walking Talking GCSE Maths Mock – Foundation Tier Take the stress out of the Maths mock and learn how to tackle the questions with confidence. Our Walking Talking Maths Mock is designed specifically for students working towards GCSE Maths Foundation Tier who would benefit from extra guidance, reassurance and practical exam technique. Rather than simply sitting a mock paper in silence, students work through the paper with Karen, a fully qualified secondary maths teacher with 20 years’ experience, talking through the questions and developing the skills needed to approach them independently. Students will be guided through a range of Foundation Tier GCSE-style questions, including: 🔢 Number – calculations, fractions, percentages, ratio and standard form 📐 Shape & Space – angles, area, perimeter, volume and transformations 📊 Statistics & Probability – charts, averages, probability and interpreting data 📈 Algebra – simplifying, solving equations, sequences and graphs 🧮 Ratio & Proportion – applying these skills to exam-style problems 📏 Measures – units, conversions and real-life applications 📝 Problem Solving – understanding what a question is actually asking But it isn't just about getting the answers... The focus is on how to approach a GCSE question. We will look at: ✔️ Breaking longer questions into manageable steps ✔️ Identifying the important information ✔️ Choosing the correct method ✔️ Using a calculator effectively ✔️ Showing working clearly ✔️ Checking whether an answer is sensible ✔️ Recognising common mistakes ✔️ Understanding command words and mathematical language ✔️ Knowing what to do when you don't immediately know the answer ✔️ Building confidence when faced with unfamiliar questions Students are encouraged to think aloud, ask questions and explain their reasoning, creating a supportive environment where mistakes become part of the learning process rather than something to be worried about. This session is particularly suitable for students who: ⭐ Are working towards GCSE Foundation Maths ⭐ Lack confidence when completing mock papers ⭐ Know some of the maths but struggle to apply it to exam questions ⭐ Become anxious when they see a difficult or unfamiliar question ⭐ Need support with exam technique and problem solving ⭐ Want to understand where they are losing marks ⭐ Would benefit from a calm, supportive approach before their GCSE exams The aim isn't simply to complete a paper.
