A 50-minute non-calculator practice paper focused on the algebra and sequences questions that appear on GCSE Foundation Paper 1 (Edexcel 1MA1). 17 questions, 45 marks, pitched at Foundation grade 2-5.
Topic mix audited against three recent Edexcel 1MA1 Foundation Paper 1 papers (June 2023, November 2023, May 2024) so the question types and difficulty profile match what students will actually face in the exam. All numbers and contexts are original — not lifted from any past paper.
