Trying to get a level 2 Maths qualification

[twonker]

Hi. I am looking for mutual support with others who are doing this Maths course. I started it in November last year, and have found it hard to keep going. It shouldn't be so hard, but I do find learning the methods a challenge.

Anybody else?

Eeeesh. I think every one else is a bit further ahead of me in Maths!

Hi, we've moved this into Student Parents. Thanks.

you must be doing either MS221 or M208?
Have done Ms221 now doing M208
And it is HARD!!!

Hi angel,
Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure which one you mean, I have not heard of them referred to in that way before. It's the multiple choice test they've put me in for. It is quite hard. I have my next appointment next week, and need to get some division done by then, but I have already forgotten how to do it.

Are you doing yours at a college? Mine is at the council.

All the best

Is level 2 GCSE equivalent? I started doing that via learn direct but their tutors are crap!

nice up the dance hi, yes I think it is gcse equivalent. I'm sorry to hear your learn direct tutor was crap. My tutor at the council is great, I leave the office feeling confident and knowing I can do it. The trouble comes later on when I come to do the homework, and I have forgotten!

Have you had a look at www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/

Good luck with your study.

Smiles, thanks for the link, I will have a look at it for my next homework session. A friend came over yesterday who is a primary teacher and she showed me "chunking" for division! What a revelation!
