Homework Policy
Teachers should set homework on a regular basis. The
homework should be pertinent, gainful and achievable.
Year 7 will be given weekly review/enrichment
sheets.
The amount of homework varies depending on the year
and course. As a guide Year 7 should be given 15-20 minutes homework
each night, whilst senior students should be completing 30-45 minutes
each night.
Teachers are expected to mark homework regularly,
ascertain any problems arising and ensure completion.
Homework defaulters can be dealt with in various
ways, but after three warnings concerning non-completion the Head
Teacher should be informed, detention arranged and a note dispatched to
parents.
Assignments are to be set as part of the assessment
procedures in the junior years and are still part of a systematic
revision program in the senior years. |

Study Tips |
| |
|
* |
Do real Maths questions and indentify areas needing
revision |
|
* |
See your teacher with questions you
are unable to do |
|
* |
Set yourself time limits to
simulate test situations |
|
* |
Learn your formulae |
|
* |
Complete questions from past exam
papers |
|
* |
Revise a little each night rather
than last week cramming |
|
* |
Complete the Chapter reviews from
your textbook |
| |
|
- least once per week |
| |
|
- revisit as necessary |
|
* |
Use websites (eg www.hsc.csu.edu.au) |

Divisibility Tests |
|
Simple tests
to find if the numbers 2 to 10 evenly divide into
another number |
|
|
|
Divisibility by 2 |
| The last digit must be 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
For example, 2 000 346 as the last digit is 6 |
|
|
Divisibility by 3 |
|
Add the digits together and
if the answer is divisible by by 3 then the
original number is also divisible by 3
For example, 7 014
add 7+1+4 Is 12
divisible by 3 ? Yes, therefore 7014 is also
divisible by 3. |
|
|
Divisibility by 4 |
|
If the last two digits are
divisible by 4 then the whole number is divisible
by 4 For example, 1 007 124 24 is divisible by 4 therefore 1 007 124
is divisible by 4 |
|
|
Divisibility by 5 |
| The last digit must be 0 or 5 For example,
1 098 625 is divisible by 5 as the last digit is
a 5 |
|
|
Divisibility by 6 |
| If it is divisible by both 2 and 3 it will
be divisible by 6 For example, 129 012 is
divisible by both 2 and 3 therefore its
divisible by 6 |
|
|
Divisibility by 7 |
|
Double the last digit,
subtract your new number from the remainder of
the original number. If the answer is divisible
by 7 then the original number is divisible by 7.
For example, 203
double the last digit 2X3=6 subtract this from
the remainder 20-6=14. As 14 is
divisible by 7 203 is divisible by 7 |
|
|
|
Divisibility by 8 |
|
If the last 3 digits are
divisible by 8 then the entire number is
divisible by 8
For example, 1 000 888 is divisible by 8 as
888 is divisible by 8 |
|
|
Divisibility by 9 |
| Add the digits, if the answer is divisible
by 9 the the original number is also divisible
by 9 For example,7 038 7+0+3+8 since 18
is divisible by 9 then 7 038 is divisible by 9 |
|
|
Divisibility by 10 |
| The last digit must be 0 For example, 1
007 120 is divisible by 10 |
|
| |
|
