Happy Home Education

The last week of Unit 1: rounding, estimation, and systematic listing, followed by a self-directed mixed review and the Unit 1 assessment. By the end of this week you should feel genuinely solid on everything from arithmetic to BIDMAS — the foundation the rest of the course builds on.

Week 3 moves into powers and roots — squares, cubes, and their opposites — before tying it all together with the order of operations (BIDMAS) and a first look at index laws. Same tiered format as before, with warm-ups that build on what you already know from the last two weeks.

Week 2 builds straight on last week's arithmetic: factors, multiples, primes, and the two ideas that trip most people up first time round, HCF and LCM. Same tiered format as Week 1, warm-ups that recall what you already know, and a Friday consolidation before we move on to powers and roots.
