This year I've been working with a small group of students who are aiming for any level of pass in their upcoming IGCSE.
In order to simplify the study, we've concentrated our efforts on about 45% of the paper. Pretty much all of the algebra (apart from completing the square and graphing and lines of equations) and FDP, as well as data.
Some of the students have difficulty with processing complex information or struggle with cognitive load, so most of the topics we cover are the straightforward questions that can be solved with a a simple algorithmic approach.
Anyway each week se spend 45 minutes on only algebra, and 45 minutes on everything else, leaving the extra double lesson to look at past papers or teach/refresh a new topic.
The constant spaced repetition seems to be working - so sharing the sheets I created, questions, taken from a variety of places, including the amazing Dr Austin and Boss Maths to name a couple. When I get to the end, I simply start again from the start! I'm adding more to the Everything Else sheets as we teach it.
