Hows everyone coping?
It's alright, it's just weird being at home.Hows everyone coping?
Guys,
How does everyone study/practice for maths?
Like how many questions from each exercise. How many hours per exercise? Do you guys do Foundation, Development and Challenge/Enrichment questions? If so, how many of each?
Is there anyone doing online learning currently?
Can agree with that. It's strange.Yes. It's quite different and......interesting?
After a couple of weeks of online learning, i agree. Idk something about the school environment is just...annoying.I find online schooling much better. Obviously there are some people (probably the majority) that prefer physically being in class and being taught by a teacher. Despite this, I've always found online resources and videos immensely more engaging and educational than teachers.
Yeah, and you're held back as the teacher has to progress at the rate the slowest student can understand.After a couple of weeks of online learning, i agree. Idk something about the school environment is just...annoying.

Personally I prefer the school environment, but I also agree that it's annoying being at school and having to go at a slower pace because some people can't understand. For me, I get really distracted at home and hate being stuck at the same place, which is why I prefer school, and it's easier for me to get help and understand when I'm there and actually able to ask questions. When you're at home, you can't ask someone near you if they got the same answer, for example. But I can see how online resources work well for some people though, because you can go at your own pace and get ahead, etc. I just have trouble engaging when self-learning personally. Anyway, good luck with school, hope all is well.Yeah, and you're held back as the teacher has to progress at the rate the slowest student can understand.
Yeah they're some really valid points - it does get really boring sitting in one spot at home. I try to move to a different spot in the house after each period and do exercise before or after school to keep my brain going. Good luck to you too and hope you're surviving lockdown ok.Personally I prefer the school environment, but I also agree that it's annoying being at school and having to go at a slower pace because some people can't understand.

Those are some really good tips, thank you, and I'm doing alright, hope you are too.Yeah they're some really valid points - it does get really boring sitting in one spot at home.

Thankyou, I'm doing pretty well at the moment. Going back to school next week only on every Wednesday so I guess thats some progression.Those are some really good tips, thank you, and I'm doing alright, hope you are too.

same man i am overloaded with work and stress. Terrible. And not looking forward to schools reopening.Hi everyone!
How are all of you going? This term's been so busy so far and unfortunately I have a million and one assignments/exams happening over the course of the next couple weeks. How's everyone managing so far and who's excited for school to be potentially going back very soon?!
I’m managing my stress quite well tbh. It’s just a matter of balancing all my subjects and getting decent marks in all of them. How come you’re not looking forward to going back to school?same man i am overloaded with work and stress. Terrible. And not looking forward to schools reopening.
i like the flexibility of online school. For example, during assembly and sport time, i can instead use those hours to complete my hw and make room for more study or free time. It's nice learning from the comfort of my home, without all the nuisance school brings. In saying that though, it is kinda difficult learning the concepts.I’m managing my stress quite well tbh.
