This includes questions such as: Write 27 as a power of 3 Write 1/16 as a power of 2 (Fractions are formatted correctly) Express 1/8root2 as a power of 2 Solve 5 x 4^2u-5 = 40 (Solving equations through a manipulation of indices) These questions are becoming more common in GCSE Maths exams and those of us who have been teaching indices for many years at GCSE need to adapt to these questions.

GCSE ratio with extension and answers

(0)
This worksheet consists of sharing a quantity into a three part ratio, combinations of ratio, then fractions and percentages with ratio. It ends with three extension questions aimed at grade 7+ students. I used this in an observation lesson where I wanted a set 1/2 class to demonstrate a good knowledge of ratio which they’d been learning, but I wanted a good challenge for the most able students to finish with. This worksheet comes with answers written out in a clear way.

When starting SOHCAHTOA you find yourself repeating the same things. Which sides are the hypotenuse, opposite and adjacent? Which ratio do we choose? With the helpful hints for both finding sides and angles worksheets, this is the perfect introductory sheet for SOHCAHTOA. There are even full examples of the substitution and rearrangement needed. All these questions are spaced out so that this can be printed out and students have room to show their working out.
