About this activity

What your child practises

Practising key skills with a ready-to-use activity.

What’s included

  • 10 questions
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 15–16. That’s Grade 10–11 in the US, Year 11–12 in England, SS 1–2 in Nigeria and Class 10–11 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Little and often wins: five minutes a day beats one long session a week.
  2. Sort answers into “know it” and “still learning”, and revisit only the second pile next time.
  3. Encourage teens to set their own target (say 12 out of 15) and track it over a few attempts.
