Every day in the run up to the GCSE exams we are intending to put up two GCSE problems of the day on Twitter. Here are the files you can use in the classroom. For each problem there are some variations that you might want to use instead or in addition.
The first problem is suitable for foundation and higher and the second is suitable for higher.
The first problem involves reasoning to find the base and height of a triangle and use this to find the area. The additional problems involve fractions and Pythagoras.
The second problem involves students finding the perimeter of a sector given its arc length. Alternative versions require students to find the length in exact form and find the area of sector. These problems will give students practice is rearranging formulae.
We hope you enjoy using them. Please tweet your student solutions to @WRMathsHUb for a chance to win a prize.

Something went wrong, please try again later.
Thank you for this. Will be using them tomorrow in class and as posters in the corridors around the school for the rest of the year groups to enjoy.
