IGCSE Edexcel Mathematics Revision List

(0)
A topic specific list for Higher level Maths pupils to manage their revision ahead of the examinations. Topics have been prioritised high, medium or low, where high suggests a frequently asked asked question in the exam, and low is less likely to be asked but appears on one of the 2 papers. Pupils may wish to traffic light topics red, amber or green depending on their confidence levels with various topics.
Trigonometry: Sine and Cosine Rules

Trigonometry: Sine and Cosine Rules

(0)
Scaffolded approach for first encounter with the Sine and Cosine Rules. The basis is to reinforce information given (sides and angles) in a problem to decide which formula to use. A quick review of the basic trigonometric functions sin, cos and tan is included at the start. Clear worked examples are given for the Sine Rule for finding sides and then angles. Practice questions are included. Clear worked examples are given for the Cosine Rule for finding sides and then angles. Again, practice questions are included. Questions that extend the understanding and application at depth are included.
Surds: fundamental skills

Surds: fundamental skills

(0)
A 2-part resource that develops fundamental skills for simplifying, collecting and multiplying Surds. Part 2 focuses on rationalising denominators. A 2-part resource with examples that scaffolds development of key concepts and skills used with Surds.
Introduction to Algebra: A language approach

Introduction to Algebra: A language approach

(0)
Introduction to basic Algebra using a language-based approach. The basic rules and concepts are introduced with examples using a scaffolded approach connected to language. Checking for understanding takes place at intervals with some simple questions. Basic practice is also included with a limited number of questions. Slides have been animated so that pace can be determined.
Working with Fractions: Equivalence, comparison, calculation

Working with Fractions: Equivalence, comparison, calculation

(0)
This resource presents key areas for working with fractions: how to make equivalent fractions by multiplying and cancelling down; comparing fractions using equivalence; calculating with fractions (4 operations). Key concepts and skills appear after the click of a button to scaffold the learning process. Practice questions are included after each key area.
Sequences and the nth term

Sequences and the nth term

(0)
Introduction to the nth term formula. How to generate a sequence using the nth term as well as finding the nth term for a sequence. PPT also contains a link to a video from a popular website for mathematics resources. Practice questions and extension tasks contained in this PowerPoint.
Trigonometry: Introduction and First Steps

Trigonometry: Introduction and First Steps

(0)
Introduction to sin, cos and tan by way of an investigation in the first instance. This is followed by a stepped approach with worked examples for using sin, cos and tan for finding missing lengths, and includes practice questions. The second part follows similar steps with a focus on finding missing angles using the inverse functions. Again, a stepped approach with worked examples are included as well as practice questions.
Algebra: a language approach, part 2.

Algebra: a language approach, part 2.

(0)
This is a follow-on from An Introduction to Algebra: a language approach. The focus is on expanding brackets following a stepped approach that links the Distributive Law with the idea of perimeter. It then progresses to Factorisation, again following a stepped approach that looks at linking HCF with concepts from part 1 of the series. There is a brief review of part 1 in the beginning and practice questions are included at intervals.
