Maths Matters at Magdalene
Assessment Schedules
The Mathematics Resource Centre (available through Compass) provides Assessment Schedules for all Mathematics courses. While students will receive Assessment Notifications for formal Assessment Tasks via Google Classroom, reviewing the Assessment Schedule in advance can help students to begin preparing for their tasks earlier and allow them to have more time to identify areas where they may need additional study or practice.
Access to course Scope and Sequence
All students at Magdalene can access the Mathematics Scope and Sequence for their course of study via the Mathematics Resource Centre. This document provides students with a clear roadmap of what they will learn throughout their Mathematics course and help them to understand the progression of concepts and skills, allowing for better preparation and organisation.
