Department budget pushed? Reduce your printing bill by up to 75% with these re-configured past papers intended to be printed as A5 booklets. They function as question papers, pupils write their answers on separate paper or in their books. There are 16 past papers in total: 6 of the new specimen papers from the 1-9 syllabus and 10 from the old A*-E syllabus. I have found the old papers helpful in working on pupil’s skill base, before then pushing them onto the new papers.

Get your students a device and set them free on this GCSE Maths ‘escape room’ (which actually has multiple rooms).
There are 7 levels, each level has a puzzle and a challenge. The puzzle is not particularly Maths related; the challenges are. This escape room is based around Number (future ones planned around other key areas…), topics covered in the challenges are:
Times tables
Long multiplication/division & checking answers
Definitions (crossword)
Equivalent fractions
Percentage of amount
Adding & Subtracting with negatives
Currency conversion
There is also a ‘bonus’ at the end which allows a student to catch up if they forgot to write down some key elements whilst moving through the game, this has another 7 Maths questions.
Questions are all pitched around GCSE foundation level.
I hope students (and maybe teachers) will find this fun, it would be a good light-hearted revision lesson or end of term lesson. I imagine most classes will take around an hour completing the game. If they finish early, they could be encouraged to think about designing their own.
There is a ‘login’ on slide 1 which allows teachers to jump to the different levels in one-click with the password.

COMPLETE BUNDLE
Since starting the new 9-1 Maths course using the Pearson Higher Textbook (‘Practice, Reasoning and Problem solving Book’) I have been creating these Revision/Consolidation worksheets for my students to revise for end of chapter tests. They have proved very successful and so I have taken the time to pack them all together and provide answers in this bundle resource.
Each worksheet is double sided taking about a lesson to complete covering the key skills from each Chapter. They follow the same Scheme as the Pearson textbook but could easily be used more generally, particularly as revision near the end of the year.
This resource compiles the two previous resources I had produced covering Chapters 1-8 and Chapters 9-19 respectively. Those resources were each priced at £2, this I am pricing at £3 so that you can save money buying this resource rather than both separately if you wish.
So included in this resource are:
Chapter 1- Number, Chapter 2 - Algebra, Chapter 3 - Interpreting and representing data, Chapter 4 - Fractions, ratio and percentages, Chapter 5 - Angles and trigonometry, Chapter 6 - Graphs, Chapter 7 - Area and Volume, Chapter 8 - Transformations and Constructions, Chapter 9 - Equations & Inequalities, Chapter 10 - Probability, Chapter 11 - Multiplicative Reasoning, Chapter 12 - Similarity & Congruence, Chapter 13 - More Trigonometry, Chapter 14 - Further Statistics, Chapter 15 - Equations & Graphs, Chapter 16 - Circle Theorems, Chapter 17 - More Algebra, Chapter 18 - Vectors & Geometric Proof, Chapter 19 - Proportion & Graphs.
Effectively you are getting a consolidation worksheet for every chapter in a Maths GCSE Higher Textbook for £3 that you can copy and use until your heart’s content representing superb value in my humble opinion ;-p
This resource was originally created for the Summer 2022 exam series. I took the EDUQAS Foundation topic list and provided example questions for each specific topic.
Obviously advanced information is now not available for exams, however, I think this resource is still a highly useful collection of questions organised by both topic and paper as well as suggesting difficulty ratings.
Students can use this to help prepare for their exams.
Although this document was specific to the EDUQAS exam board, note that the EDUQAS, Edexcel, AQA, OCR GCSE Maths exam board syllabus’ are very similar, so would certainly still be highly relevant for each.
File attached as PDF and Word for flexibility of use.
Update
Answers now also included and a couple of minor errors corrected.
Here is a complete workbook of Grade 4 topics for GCSE Maths. Answers also included.
I created this for my classes this year as they are mixed ability within foundation GCSE. I also made an aiming at grade 2 and aiming at grade 3 workbooks that I will hopefully also upload.
They are great for all general work, classwork, homework, revision.
To decide on the topics I did some brief analysis of recent papers and what topics came up compared to marks needed for a grade 4. If students are confident on the majority of the topics in this workbook, then they should be able to achieve a grade 4.
Note in the top right corner on Page 3 there is a blank space, here I added a QR code to the answers, you could do similar.
There are exactly 100 topics covered across:
Four Operations
Fractions
Factors, Multiples and Primes
Decimals
Percentages
Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
Rounding
Powers and Roots
Indices
Ratio
Algebra
Expanding & Factorising
Solving Linear Equations
Straight Line Graphs
Inequalities
Angles
Angles in Polygons
2D Shapes
Perimeter
Area
3D Shapes
Measure
Time
Money
Compound measure
Scale Drawings
Transformations
Similarity
Probability
Venn Diagrams
Averages & the Range
Frequency Tables
Scatter Graphs
Introducing the Teacher’s Markbook - Making Excel easy! This Excel file is all you need to bring your Markbook fully into the 21st Century dazzling colleagues and students alike.
