Revise for Success Place Mats - Revision Foundation are designed to be used as soon as students arrive in a class - or as pre-prepared revision sheets at home.

Each A4 activity sheet can be handed to students as they enter the class or placed on the student’s desk. This activity is a perfect class settler and revision task. It has been designed to improve a student’s recall and problem solving skills. Alternatively, they can be given to students with the suggestion that they use them as quick revision tools at home - perhaps literally using them as a place mat.

Designed with busy teachers in mind, the activities are ready-to-go. Answers are provided.

These resources not only perfectly meet the needs of the modern mathematics teacher, but also those of the dedicated and supportive parent at home. Packed with visual appeal, these activities will be perfect for even the most reluctant pupils, because they will help focus revision and convince them that they can improve, and that effort will lead to reward.
