<p>This is a set of 50 exercises, each with 10 questions, covering the typical beginning Foundation GCSE topics on non-calculator exams.<br /> The structure of each exercise is always the same, but numbers vary so that students can have repeated practice at the same skills.<br /> Answers are included.<br /> I initially created this resource as a number of students are close to the grade 4 borderline, but have made basic errors at the beginning of the paper.<br /> The aim is for them to practice so they don’t make errors such as 0.8=8%, and ideally get the first 10 or so marks at the beginning of each paper.<br /> Equally, lower ability students can almost secure grade 1 by getting most of these marks.<br /> As well as practice for year 11 Foundation, they can also be used for any KS3 class as basic practice.</p>

I used Excel to generate random numbers, and from this a series of questions on finding the probabilities from the standardised Normal distribution tables.<br /> <br /> Using the spreadsheet, I generated 10 separate worksheets, with answers.

A spreadsheet to try to remove some of the &quot;guess work&quot; in measuring KS3 progress without using levels.<br /> You will need to create topic tests for your Scheme of Work. The spreadsheet is set up for these to be out of 60 marks but can be adapted otherwise.<br /> For each student, enter their name, target GCSE grade, and mark for each topic test.<br /> The spreadsheet calculates an integer value from -2 to 2 to indicate progression (nb - students with a target of 9 can only score a maximum of 0 for progress).<br /> The spreadsheet calculates a &quot;weighted average&quot; score of a number of tests - weightings are based on the Edexcel 1MA0 specification (Higher).<br /> Please note - this is still &quot;work in progress&quot; - any suggestions welcome.
