Eleventh hour

Sam has had Yr 9 exams this week and tomorrow is the last of them, maths.  

He's done a couple of past papers and I tried to help explain how to do the questions he got wrong, but was beaten.  Remembering my patient Dad trying to explain maths to me at that age still brings me out in a cold sweat.  Luckily Ben took time out from his own homework and was much better able to remind Sam of how he should be working things out than me.

It's all been a bit last minute though - I guess it's all part of the learning what or whether it matters process.
