Fill in the top line before you start. Section,
lesson and stage are the three names shown at the top of the lesson in the app.
Copy them across and this sheet can be filed back against the work it belongs
to, weeks later, without guessing.
These sheets lay out working the way a marking scheme rewards it. Method marks
are lost far more often to working a corrector cannot follow than to not knowing
the method — so there is a place for what you were given, what you are finding,
the formula in its booklet form, the substitution, and the answer with its unit.
Print a few of each and keep them in your folder, or
Save as PDF and annotate them on an iPad with a stylus.
In the print dialog choose A4, and if your printer offers it, tick
background graphics — the sheets work without it, but the headings look better.

What I did
What was right
The exact step where it went wrong not "I got it wrong" — which line
