Probability Formulae
This lesson introduces the key probability formulae required for Edexcel A-Level Statistics, linking them to real-life applications such as weather forecasting, medical testing, quality control, insurance, and sports analytics. Students begin with a starter activity that revisits prior knowledge of probability and explores how probabilities are used to support decision-making in everyday situations. The lesson develops understanding of probability notation and the main formulae, including the complement rule, addition laws for mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, multiplication laws for independent events, and conditional probability. Visual representations such as Venn diagrams and probability trees are used to help students organise information, identify relationships between events, and select appropriate methods. Students then apply these formulae through progressively challenging practice questions and Edexcel-style examination problems, supported by fully worked solutions that model clear reasoning and effective exam technique. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to confidently choose and apply the correct probability formula in a range of statistical contexts and examination scenarios.
Probability Formulae
Explore Edexcel A-Level probability formulae using real-life contexts, Venn diagrams and trees, with practice, exam questions and worked solutions.
Logarithms and Exponential Graphs
The graph has been translated, stretched, or reflected from the parent function. The asymptote moves according to the transformation, and the graph retains its characteristic exponential or logarithmic shape.
Bridging the gap between GCSE and A-level New Curriculum
Bridging the gap between GCSE and A-level workbook for the new Curriculum. AS Assessment included as well.
undefined
Volume and surface area of compound shapes
Exam questions on volume and surface area based on the new curriculum for GCSE and IGCSE.
Factorising Quadratics
In this lesson, students will develop a deep understanding of how to factorise quadratic expressions, and factorising harder quadratics and apply factorisation to solve quadratic equations, equipping them with essential algebraic skills for both academic and real-world problem-solving.
There are two different lessons. One based on factorising quadratics and the second one on factorising harder quadratics.
How to find the Equation of a Tangent to a circle.
Recall the standard equation of a circle.
Understand the geometric property that a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
Find the gradient of a radius and use it to determine the gradient of the tangent.
Use the point-gradient form of a straight-line equation to write the equation of the tangent.
Conics- Parabola and Hyperbola
Full lesson based on finding the equation of a normal and the equation of a tangent of a parabola and hyperbola. The lesson is following the a-level edexcel curriculum.
