Reach for the Star

Cumulative checkpoint and feedback

Pearson Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA1 · Foundation and Higher · L024 · Review v0.9

Your learning journey

Use independent evidence across number, proportion and algebra to identify a specific error and demonstrate a repaired method.

Work without a calculator except for an invited check. Keyboard - means the same as −. Attempt before opening a scaffold or intentional practice explanation.

Connect & Check

Diagnostic: evidence used to choose teaching. Transfer: use a method in a fresh situation. Reference whole: quantity treated as 100%. Equivalent: same mathematical value or relationship.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

5/6; 12.

Record the method as well as the answer.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

15 and 25; x=5.

Keep proportion and equation evidence separate.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

2x−6; 16.

Multiply both terms; substitute n=5.

Share

In pairs, predict the first step and compare your reasons before reading the worked solution: D1 Model repair: 1/2+1/3=3/6+2/6=5/6. Now calculate 3/4+1/6 with common units.

Present

Different errors need different repairs. A denominator error concerns the size of the fraction unit; a percentage error may use the wrong whole; an equation error may break equality. Identify the first incorrect decision rather than repeating the same question.

Attempt Recall without notes. Choose one matched Discover repair. Use new Apply questions without the scaffold, then take the exit check. Record support and a delayed independent attempt; do not infer a grade from this small sample.

Optional scaffold

Use twelfths.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

11/12.

9/12+2/12.

Optional scaffold

Label original as 100%.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

£72.

54 is 75% of original.

Optional scaffold

Keep both sides equal.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

x=7; 3(7−2)=15.

Divide before adding, or expand correctly.

Optional scaffold

Compare with 4n.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

4n+2.

Difference 4 and first term 2 above 4.

Apply

Optional scaffold

Name the operation before choosing a method.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

11/12; 8/3.

Addition needs common units; division counts quarter units.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

x=6; −2x+8; x=(y−2)/3.

Use balanced steps, signed distribution and grouped numerator.

Optional scaffold

The context requires a whole number.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

6 visits; £23. Seven visits would cost £26.

5+3v≤24 gives v≤19/3.

Optional check after A3: 5+3×6=23 and 5+3×7=26. The maximum integer decision depends on the budget, not on rounding to the nearest integer.

Apply and extend

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

A fresh independent task after a delay, with explanation and recorded support.

Immediate repetition can reflect memory of answers.

Intentional practice feedback after your attempt

Yes: 1.25×0.8=1. A 25% fall leaves 0.9375 of original.

Percentage changes use different bases; test £100.

Access, Scaffold, Core and Stretch support the same goal. Stretch deepens reasoning for either qualification tier.

Recall & Review

Retrieval without notes

Six retrieval points. Enter a number, decimal, fraction such as 3/2, or mixed number such as 1 1/2. Equivalent numeric values are accepted. Unsupported notation goes to teacher review. For rounding, also communicate the requested accuracy in written work; numerical scoring cannot judge significant trailing zeros.







Not checked.

Independent exit evidence

P1–P2: five minutes, no notes, 4 marks. Your teacher reviews working and explanations. Full assessment solutions are not embedded.

Recall & Review and prepare

Optional scaffold

Sketch a straight line and mark the two adjacent angles.

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°. Angles around a point sum to 360°. Vertically opposite angles are equal. The next lesson uses these facts and parallel-line relationships to calculate missing angles and explain each step.

Retrieve F1 again in one week. Bring your working and one question.

Your progress summary

Completion records attempts, not mastery. Retrieval points describe the latest checked attempt. Your teacher reviews P1–P2 separately and checks retained understanding after a delay.

Optional extension activities

Allow 10–15 minutes if the main practice is secure. Show your method, explain a check and justify your conclusion.

Common difference is 3, next 14; nth term 3n−1 gives term 20=59.

Recall & Review: feedback and extension integration

Lesson L024: Cumulative checkpoint and feedback

Objective: Use independent evidence across number, proportion and algebra to identify a specific error and demonstrate a repaired method.

60-minute structure: 0-7 Connect & Check; 7-14 Share; 14-25 Present/model; 25-44 Apply route choice/practice; 44-52 independent exam-style check; 52-60 Recall & Review, WWW/EBI and next step.

What Went Well (WWW)

I used my working and assessment evidence to identify the exact mathematical step that was secure and the specific misconception that needs attention.

Even Better If (EBI)

I will correct one precise step, explain why the correction works and complete a fresh delayed question without the original scaffold.

Stretch and deep challenge

Stretch: Solve 2x+5=17, then give the third term of 3n+2.

Deep challenge: A learner extends 2,5,8,11 with 15. Diagnose and find the 20th term.
