The first lesson was spent going over the Added Value Unit Test.
We then spent the next lesson on a practice assessment for the Numeracy Test to prepare the pupils for what will be in the test.
The class were again directed to the SQA website www.sqasolar.org.uk which has online practice assessments for a number of courses, including National 4 – Numeracy. The class were encouraged to practice some of these by following the links to Open Assess, selecting the subject (Mathematics: Nat 4) followed by the assessment (Numeracy) and then creating the assessment followed by launching the assessment. The likelihood is that all pupils sitting National 4 will be enrolled for this, and will then sit their assessment online. So the more practice an individual has now, the better prepared they will be for the assessment.
There was a parents’ evening on Thursday 20th February.
