Updated July 2018 Additional question types added to reflect the style of questions from OCR 2018 AS and A level papers, as well as a wider variety of multiple choice questions, and turned in to write in booklet for ease of marking. Free mark scheme for all questions also available.
A booklet including practice questions and explanations for how to address the mathematical components for the new A level specifications. This could be set for students as homework or independent study totaling approximately 8-10 hours worth of work. Answers included in a separate document.
• Rounding (Decimal places and Significant figures), Standard Form and Estimation
• Ratio, Fractions & Percentages
• Substitution into equations
• Presenting data (bar graphs, histograms, line graphs, pie charts, scattergraphs)
• Averages (measures of central tendency)
• Range, variance & standard deviation (measures of dispersion)
• Normal and Skewed distribution
• Levels of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval)
• Criteria for using a parametric test
• Criteria for selecting specific non-parametric tests (Mann Whitney U, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks, Chi-square, Binomial Sign test, Spearman’s Rho)
• Probability and Significance
• Type I and Type II errors.
A powerpoint outlining the background theory, method, results and evaluation of Blakemore & Cooper's study for the OCR specification. Includes exam questions and a number of other activities
Covering all 20 of the Core Studies for the new OCR Specification. A multiple choice quiz featuring seven rounds, with a bonus round after each. To run this quiz, I ask students to work in teams and give 20 points (sweets) as a starting currency. Then for each multiple choice round, the team with the most correct answers gets 4 more, second most gets 3 more etc. After each multiple choice round (other than the final round) is a bonus round. Select a team at random to do the bonus round by picking a letter from the slide. Uncover the question/instruction underneath by deleting the letter and removing the shading from the cell. Students answer that question and are given 3 sweets for every mark they get. Highly engaging (but very active for you!) (Answers included in separate document). Will take approx. 2.5 hours

This document prints back to back so that the name of the study is on one side, and details of the study are on the other side. The first version for each study is a summary of the method & results, with a second detailing the numerical data associated with the study. The A level studies are listed in a separate document.
