Show That Algebraic Arguments GCSE Maths Foundation Booklet + Mark Scheme

A Foundation Tier booklet that teaches students to lay out “show that” answers properly, showing each step instead of jumping to the answer.

• Foundation Tier practice booklet: 30 questions, 84 marks (16 pages)
• Full mark scheme for the booklet, giving the answer and worked method for every question

Questions are grouped into three difficulty bands (Developing, Secure and Greater Depth), so students move from fluency to exam-style problem solving. Each question shows its mark allocation and has working space underneath.

Topics covered
• Showing that expressions simplify to a given result
• Expanding single brackets and collecting like terms
• Perimeter and area of shapes with algebraic side lengths
• Expanding double brackets to reach a given expression
• Rewriting expressions in factorised form
