This Foundation Tier revision workbook prepares students for GCSE Maths Paper 3, the second calculator paper. It is written for students working at Grades 1–5 and is suitable for both AQA and Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9–1) Mathematics.

Every topic is broken down with clear step-by-step methods and worked examples, followed by topic-by-topic practice and detailed worked answers, so students go into the final paper confident with every area of the Foundation course.

The workbook is ready to use straight away with no preparation, making it ideal for revision lessons, homework, intervention groups, cover lessons and independent revision before mocks and the final exam.

What’s included:

• Clear step-by-step methods for every topic
• Worked examples showing exactly how to set out answers
• Topic-by-topic exam-style practice questions
• Detailed worked answers so students can check and correct their work

Topics covered:

• Number – the four operations, negative numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages, factors, multiples and primes, powers and roots, rounding, estimation and standard form

Calculator skills:
Particular focus on using a calculator efficiently and accurately, including powers, roots, fractions, standard form, rounding answers sensibly and avoiding common keying mistakes.

How to use it:
Students work through one topic at a time: study the method and worked example, try the practice questions, then check their answers against the worked solutions. This builds confidence with the methods examiners expect to see.

Ideal for:

• Foundation Tier students aiming for Grades 1–5
• Revision lessons and homework
• Intervention and small-group support
• Cover lessons – no preparation needed
