Solving Equations (2)

This booklet contains a selection of questions covering a range of topics for the reformed GCSE Mathematics (9-1) syllabus. For the majority of these questions, students are required to interpret the context and use their reasoning and problem solving skills. The 96 questions in this booklet can be used by both teachers, to show examples of examination style questions in class, and students, for independent revision at home. The answers are particularly useful if students are not secure in certain topics as they show full step-by-step workings. Calculators are allowed for the questions in this booklet.
Topics covered in this booklet are: solving quadratic equations using the quadratic formula, solving equations using trial and improvement, solving equations involving algebraic fractions, solving simultaneous equations with one linear equation and one quadratic equation, using graphs to estimate solutions of equations, writing down equations from a given context and forming equations to solve problems related to the cost of products, angles, perimeters, areas, volumes, surface areas, 3D shapes, similar shapes, probability and compound measures.
This booklet has excellent examples of questions of the new topics in the reformed GCSE Mathematics (9-1) curriculum.
