Year 10 Maths Revision: Spring Term

Year 10 Maths Revision: Spring Term

For your Autumn Term assessment, you will be doing two GCSE papers: Paper 1 (80 marks, 1.5 hours): non-calculator Paper 2 (80 marks, 1.5 hours): calculator

The papers can include any topic you have learnt since the beginning of year 7, so plan your revision carefully. They will also include topics you haven't studied yet, as they are full GCSE papers ? be prepared to skip questions you don't understand. Unlike other subjects, topics can come up on any paper ? both papers are general. In your final GCSE (and at the end of year 10) you will sit three papers: one non-calculator and two calculator papers. In addition to specific revision given to you by your teacher you should do the following:

1. Complete the practice papers you are given; do a few pages a day. 2. Identify questions that you recognise (you think you've been taught them) but aren't

confident to answer. 3. Search for the topic on Hegarty Maths or in your revision guide. Watch the video or

read the explanation, do the questions that go with this, then then try the questions from the paper again. 4. Revise any other topics you are not confident on, using Hegarty Maths or your revision guide. Focus in particular on topics you have been taught in year 9 or 10. It's important that your revision always includes answering questions. Below is a list of topics you will have covered in year 10 by the time of your assessment (if you are in set 1 or 2 you will also have studied additional topics). Make sure you have revised any of the topics below that you are not confident about. Ordering decimal numbers Rounding to decimal places and significant figures; estimation Fractions and four operations (+, -,?,?) Fractions, decimals and percentages Calculating percentages, simple interest, and repeated percentage change (e.g. compound interest) Standard form and four operations (+, -,?,?) Laws of indices Linear and quadratic sequences Ratio Pythagoras Theorem Similarity & enlargement Bearings Trigonometry Algebra: simplifying, expanding, solving, substitution and graphs Angles: angle rules, angles in parallel lines, angles in polygons Vectors
