Topics can be assessed twice so there are things that may reappear on Paper 2. I hope this helps with your revision :)

A second predicted paper using a different style of questions from the first I compiled last week - with mark-scheme This is just my best guess using previous Edexcel exam and mock questions but if you complete both papers it will give you a good coverage of topics not asssessed in paper 1. I hope this helps your revision and an any feedback much appreciated :)

GCSE Maths - Practice Papers - Grade 9 Extension & Challenge

(0)
These ‘Grade 9’ practice papers are designed to practice the highest end of the GCSE specification and stretch the most able students. These would be excellent practice for A Level students too and any mathematicians looking for some fun with algebra, geometry and problem solving. There are 3 papers - One non-calculator and 2 calculator papers and I have endeavored to include all elements of the specification within the 3 papers. Included in downloads are the full paper, a concise version to save on printing and full solutions. Paper 1 is a non-calculator paper and so numerical skills and arithmetic will be tested. The topics covered in Practice Paper 1 are: Factorising/solving quadratics Expanding 3 brackets Rules of indices - solving equations Solving linear simultanous equations Ratio Completing the square - solving equations and max/min points Surds -rationalising the denominator Coordinate geometry - straight lines, gradient, distance. Compound interest Sectors/Arc Lengths Surface area of a prism Area of a triangle - exact trigonometric values Quadratic sequences Probability - Tree diagrams Graph sketching - reciprocal and cubic equations Vectors Functions - inverse functions The topics covered in Practice Paper 2 are: Recurring decimals and fractions Quadratic inequalities Ratio - Areas of circles, squares and Pythagoras Cumulative frequency and estimation of mean Bounds Rules of indices and quadratic equations Proof of circle theorems Histograms Trigonometry - right-angle Algebraic fractions Trig graphs and transformations Bearings Trigonometry - cosine rule Proportion Construction of angles Probability - Venn diagrams and conditional probability Iterative sequences Quadratic simultaneous equations Tangent to a circle The topics covered in Practice Paper 3 are: Laws of indices Siolving quadratic equations - factoring in 3 ways Mean, Median, Mode and Range Forming and solving linear simultaneous equations Speed/distance/time - problem solving Rates Problem solving - solving quadratic equations Speed/time graphs Standard form - Estimation Composite Functions Surface Area and Ratio - Spheres and Cones Pythagoras - 3D Problem Solving - solving equations Regions, straight lines and inequalities Coordinate geometry of straight lines - area and intersections Angles in a polygon - problem solving Conditional probability Set notation These papers are brand new, hot off the press, with all questions written by myself (it was a big task!) so all feedback is extremely valuable and much appreciated so please review if you can :)

Indices Worksheet - GCSE Higher - Fractional, negative and solving equations

(0)
This worksheet is aimed at the higher end of the GCSE curriculum and useful for A Level students too. The task in part 1 requires students to fill in a table testing their knowledge of bases 2 and 3 and fractional/negative exponents. The second task is 3 exam style questions that test students’ knowledge of the rules of indices and how they can be applied to forming and solving equations. Please let me know if you enjoy the resource and if theres any other worksheets you’d like created :)
Binomial Expansion - 'Discover the formula!'  Investigation Worksheet
MrHenchyMrHenchy

Binomial Expansion - 'Discover the formula!' Investigation Worksheet

(1)
This worksheet is designed to introduce students to the topic of binomial coefficients, combination, and binomial expansion. It is split into 4 tasks for the students to work through independently (with a partner is recommended) and by the end of the worksheet they should be able to discover the formula for binomial expansion. I’ve used this approach many times and it makes for a lovely lesson! Let me know what you think :)
Completing the Square - A Level Maths Worksheet
MrHenchyMrHenchy

Completing the Square - A Level Maths Worksheet

(0)
This worksheet contains 22 questions (100 marks) for a thorough study of the important algebraic topic ‘Completing the Square’. When thinking about what a good A Level worksheet should have I felt the resources I write should contain the following: -Progress from the basics to more advanced as you work through. -Contain modelling questions. -Contain problem solving questions. -Clear solutions for students to mark/check their own work. -Lots of algebra! This worksheet is the first I’ve written and my plan is to complete these for all of A Level Maths (and eventually Further Maths!). Any feedback is much appreciated and if you have suggestions for things I can add (or spot an error!) I’d love to hear from you :) Twitter: @HenchMaths

I created this to using the specification for Edexcel A Level Maths to help students identify strengths and weaknesses in the pure side of the course. Note it is not massively detailed on all areas but it’s a good starting point!
Discrete Random Variables Activities

Discrete Random Variables Activities

(12)
2 Activities for Discrete Random Variables in S1 1) Which competition would you enter? Ask the students to consider which competition they would enter and why? If they were selling the tickets, which would the say and why? A good starter for introducing DRV's. Can then calculate E(X) and Var(X) to check their ideas. 2) Design your own DRV exam style questions.
