Welcome to
Mr Hunte's Classroom
An environment where students aren't simply taught Mathematics, but rather an environment where a passion for the learning of Mathematics is developed.
Useful Philosophies
Many years ago, when I trained in the gym, the instructor often said to us young males who wanted to get a big chest and big arms as quickly as possible, "The fastest thing you will get in the gym is HURT."
Results take time. There is no quick fix to better grades. Practice is paramount to success in Mathematics. Therefore, we do not stop practising a topic once we have gotten a few questions correct. We practise perpetually because we aim for the unattainable standard of PERFECTION.
DON'T PRACTISE UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT, PRACTISE UNTIL YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG.

In 2 Peter 3:16, the apostle Peter stated that some of the things that Paul taught in his letters to the churches were hard to understand. Similarly, there are portions of Mathematics that are hard to understand. However, this does not mean impoosible to understand. With effort and diligence all concepts, easy or "difficult", can be understood and masterfully applied.
DON'T PRACTISE UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT, PRACTISE UNTIL YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG.

EVERYTHING IN MATHEMATICS MAKES SENSE.
THE MORE YOU KNOW, THE LESS YOU DON'T KNOW.
While knowledge is considered on the lower level in Mathematics, it is still indispensible to the learning process. It is imperative that students know the mathematical formulae taught. This enhances their ability to apply a formula when required.
Students are encouraged to create their own formula/reference sheet as the year progresses. This is a great revision tool.
DON'T FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO KNOW.
Have you ever simply looked at a question and decided that you can't get it done? That's probably because you focused on what you didn't know. Your mentality needs to change. Rather, you need to focus on the part, however small it a be, that you do know. Remember that basic mathematical knowledge is always the starting point.
Here are some very useful programs that can enhance the learning process.
Great for graphing functions. Can be used online or offline.
Can be used for graphing functions. Available online and offline.
Assists with solving simple problems. Step-by-step working can also be provided. Available as an Android and iOS app.
Useful Technologies
Here are some very useful websites that can enhance the learning process.
Excellent source for worksheets. Must be mindful that the English system is slightly different therefore extreme care must be used when utilising the vast deposit of resources.
With a vast pool of FREE online videos covering Advanced Mathematical concepts, this site is a great 24-hour Math tutor.
FREE and well structured lessons provide a very intuitive learning experience. Be alert to the fact that the website was designed for the American educational system.
