This resource is designed for students attempting the Higher GCSE paper. Its aim is to equip these students to tackle questions involving two-stage journeys and unit mismatches, features that are likely to feature in future exam questions, as the examiners attempt to add complexity to questions involving speed. The resource consists of a cover slide, a lesson presentation and a worksheet. The lesson presentation includes a starter, a worked example and solutions to all ten questions on the worksheet. The starter revises converting between different units of time and distance. The questions on the worksheet start simply with a question where students have to add to find total distance and total time before dividing to find the speed. Complexity is added by getting students to find the distance and time in one of the stages and by introducing unit mismatches including getting students to express minutes as fractions or decimals of an hour. There are also a couple of questions involving using ratio and percentages to analyse the results.

The resource is for KS4 students preparing for the Higher paper. The resource assumes that students know how to add and subtract surds, how to multiply and divide surds and how to simplify surds. A worksheet is included and the lesson presentation includes a starter, examples and worked solutions. The new specification GCSE Higher papers feature many questions where two or more topics are combined. This lesson prepares students for questions that combine knowledge of surds with the properties of shapes and using formulae. In the first half of the lesson, students learn how to find and simplify expressions involving surds for the perimeter and area of shapes. In the second half of the lesson, students learn how to find a missing length in surd form from the area or perimeter of the shape and other dimensions. In both cases the questions are structured to start with easier examples and to end with harder examples.
