A Level AQA Learning Grids
A fantastic way to support weaker learners!
Students have to read their textbook/notes to complete a grid of questions based on a sub-topic of the learning criteria, in exact specification order.
The structured and active learning method helps students understand the key points and build confidence.
Brilliant for students who learn best by doing. Dramatically improves learning for learners in need of additional support; highly motivating.
Some great revision ideas here to review learning either at the end of the topic or for revision before final examinations. It is a good opportunity for pupils to reflect on their prior knowledge and areas that are lacking
- Requires minimal teacher planning and input – great for cover lessons
- An easy-to-set, valuable homework option
- Pinpoints topic strengths and weaknesses for targeted support
- Diagrams engage visual learners
- Case study specific learning grids make perfect factsheets for revision

What do teachers say about this resource? (9101)
Very good ... very useful for revision ... It has a variety of tasks to complete and needs no teacher input... [helps for] homework mostly but also for them to check understanding without any marking from me ... It can be self-assessed very easily ... For a ready-made homework resource it is fantastic and will save a lot of time

I really like the resource. It would be a very useful addition to the resources given to our students and could easily be used well with other assets in class
It is a very concise revision tool for students and has made good use of the Spec and followed the outline of the AQA spec carefully. Some great revision ideas here to review learning either at the end of the topic or for revision before final examinations. It is a good opportunity for pupils to reflect on their prior knowledge and areas that are lacking
I particularly like the range of approaches to completing the tasks and recording knowledge. I like that it is broken down into sections then again into manageable tasks. I can see it working well as a private study task to support student engagement in lessons as well as a revision resource at the end of the course and prior to exams. The resource encourages the student to engage in the material covered in class and private study. It uses a range of diagrams and images that may be unfamiliar and asks the student to use their knowledge to explain different scenarios
