I'm reliving my school days through Kavita. I help her revise for her Common Assessment Tasks (CATs) : there are two sets per term, four in an academic year. And, there are two term examinations too. It's a lot of testing!
I have helped her to study , set studying targets, keep her on schedule and then test her, too. This is helping her get near perfect marks.
The way I help her think about it is to relive our love of board games especially Settlers of Catan where strategy helps you win points. So, why throw away points to the school?
Kavita is smart kid and, with enough attention, nudging and time, she can get perfect marks.
Also, any subject can come alive and, girls should have an equal love for maths and science and not be intimidated by them. No reason for maths to be scary.
YouTube and Google are amazing sources when it comes to finding more about a topic in a text book or, to find exercises.
I have learned this stage in life , 40s I guess, that I really love learning. I love seeing things through Kavita's eyes.
As you all know, she's brilliant and if I haven't shared her conversation with Prof Pervez Hoodhbhoy during the 2025 Summer Camp on The Black Hole YouTube page, here is it: Consciousness and Robot Explained by a 12-year Old . (I've watched it 4 dozen times and smiled each time).
Here's some cool cool science stuff. The dark energy and dark matter stuff is mind blowing.
By the way, did you know Hashem Al-Ghaili is a Yemeni molecular biologist? His Facebook page is really cool from where most of these come from:
