Tutoring for Year 5 Students
Year Five, Main 11+ Course
This course is a three-week rotation between writing, maths and reasoning. The course covers all requirements for the Medway and Kent 11+ tests.
Year 5 Course Breakdown
During this section of the course, students will be taught about various styles and genres of writing and the requirements needed to answer a task at length. Spelling, punctuation, grammar (SPaG) and vocabulary building are technical skills that will be honed alongside creative skills: imagination and literary devices.
Extended Writing
The course will focus and enhance skills in number, measurement, geometry, ratio and proportion, algebra, and statistics. Once topics are grasped, students will progress to applying their knowledge to the unfamiliar to strengthen problem solving capabilities and proficiency in understanding mathematical ideas.
Maths
This part of the course will alternate between non/spatial and verbal reasoning.
Non-verbal and spatial reasoning: Sudents will develop their ability to analyse problems using visual information (diagrams and shapes) by working on logic, spatial awareness, identifying patterns and rules, and geometry.
Verbal Reasoning: Students work on understanding and reasoning to develop their analysis of written information. Through comprehension, cloze, vocabulary activities and the twenty-one standard GL verbal question types, students work on problem solving with words and language.
Strong reasoning skills are an indicator of abstract thinking, creativity and ability to solve complex problems.
