There are 12 Y12 introduction to mathematics tasks set on Dr Frost Maths for any students starting year 12 maths. These cover all of the core skills that must be really strong to be able to do A-level maths. We are not expecting all 851 questions completed, but you need to scan through the worksheets and attempt any questions that you are less confident with, watching the video for support and there are additional resources and videos linked here under the Prior Knowledge section.
There are also 2 baseline tests (links below) that should help you assess if any of these are areas of weakness that you need to revise and help you focus your bridging work to ensure high levels of fluency.
Students who do not do this work find themselves significantly behind when we start the course and often struggle to catch up.
