Surds | GCSE Higher Maths Worksheets
Six graded worksheets on surds for GCSE Higher, with full mark schemes. Builds from simplifying and rationalising the denominator through to surd problems and equations.
How the series builds:
Simplifying, multiplying and dividing — √n to a√b, products, quotients and powers
Adding and subtracting — simplifying surds and collecting like terms
Expanding brackets — single and double brackets, squares and conjugates
Rationalising the denominator I — single-surd denominators
Rationalising the denominator II — conjugate (two-term) denominators
Surd problems and equations — solving, finding unknowns and writing in the form a + b√n
Board-agnostic (AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and supplied as print-ready PDFs — 6 worksheets and 6 mark schemes, with answers in exact, simplified form throughout. Ideal for KS4 higher-tier lessons, homework, starters, revision and exam practice.
