Deep Dive Grades 5/6

🔑 High-Impact Strategies for Exam Success

🏡 For Parents (Home Support):

• Set up a daily routine and quiet study space.

• Encourage active learning at home (teach back, mini quizzes, topic discussions).

• Celebrate small wins to build confidence.

• Help monitor progress without pressuring.

📚 For Students (Study Smarter, Not Harder):

• Don’t just “read over” — use self-testing, error tracking, mind maps, flashcards.

• Create personalized study plans based on mock results and weak areas.

• Practice timed exam sessions to improve speed and stamina.

• Keep an error log — record mistakes, why they happened, and how to fix them.

🧑‍🏫 For Teachers (Classroom Strategies):

• Use active learning (not just lecturing) – involve students in solving, discussing, and applying.

• Plan lessons with clear weekly mastery goals.

• Introduce past paper questions early, not just at revision time.

• Use quick feedback (mini quizzes, exit slips) to catch mistakes early.

• Prioritize mastery of core skills (e.g., place value, decomposing, counting in math).
