The School of the Nations, Nairobi, Kenya has a vision to prepare and equip pupils as global leaders of the future while providing them with a sound holistic foundation. The school follows the Cambridge International Curriculum. They pride themselves on their exciting, enterprising curriculum and strive to raise standards with the local community in a supportive way. Thanks to the support and dedication of the teachers, the School of the Nations has over the last eight years, built a culture of success in maths, achieving significant improvements in the grades in the Cambridge International exams and Maths-Whizz has played a significant part in this success.
There was an immediate need to roll out Maths-Whizz for the Y6 students sitting Cambridge exams so we started the implementation with Y6 first and then across the school as a whole. We were very happy to re-organise the ICT lab and the timetable so that all students could have their time using the Maths-Whizz virtual tutor and now Maths-Whizz is a timetabled activity for all children at the school plus we assign weekly homework using Topic Focus.
Cambridge Foundation School Holiday Homework
According to the National PTA and the National Education Association, students should only be doing about 10 minutes of homework per night per grade level. But teens are doing a lot more than that, according to a poll of high school students by the organization Statistic Brain. In that poll teens reported spending, on average, more than three hours on homework each school night, with 11th graders spending more time on homework than any other grade level. By contrast, some polls have shown that U.S. high school students report doing about seven hours of homework per week.
