Students who have started practising their Mathematics in preparation for September may have noticed that topics which used to be easy to crack are much trickier after the summer break! We call this academic regression, and to help you brush up your mathematics before returning to the classroom, our lead Mathematics tutor Vivek Gathani has prepared the fourth set of 5 Quick Questions for each year group.
We hope you have already had a chance to try the previous three sets of 5 Quick Questions - please see the answers to the third set of questions below!
We will be posting the answers to the fourth set of questions and a brand new set of 5 Quick Questions on Wednesday, the 22nd of August.
Good luck, mathsies!
