At Aldridge School we encourage our students to bring a calculator to every maths lesson. There are a wide range of calculators available for any budget, therefore we do not insist on student’s owning a specific model. We do, however, recommend Casio’s fx-83GT CW as the perfect entry-level option for students transitioning into secondary level maths. These are widely available and often can be found on offer at a variety of retailers.

In the highly competitive world of academics today, securing top grades demands more than simply knowing the syllabus inside out.

For GCSE and A-Level learners, exploring extra-curricular reading can be transformative, giving them a richer understanding of topics, boosting critical thinking abilities, and supplying the background knowledge essential for exam success.

This guide features a selection of the finest extra-curricular mathematics books, created to motivate and assist students on their educational journey.

For those students in years 10 and 11 who are considering studying Maths beyond GCSE, we can offer Further Maths as an additional qualification.  This requires students to attend one after school session per week alongside some additional independent study.

The transition from GCSE to A level Maths can be challenging but, with plenty of practice, it most certainly is a rewarding experience. The webpage above focuses on activities which help students to master the key skills that are needed in A level Mathematics. The topics are mainly those found in the overlap between GCSE and AS mathematics.

Each chapter contains between 10 and 15 videos for students to watch, along with a downloadable PDF of example questions, practice questions and end of chapter exam questions for consolidation.

Alternatively, there are some activities that can be completed on Sparx Maths. You can find the workbook and answers below.

Some examples have been deliberately not included. For example, for Chapter 1, we have Examples 1,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,13,14 only.

These correspond to the same example numbers within the chapter of the of the Year 1 AS Pure Maths textbook to allow you to use both resources together.
