(Option 2) Grade 9 Candidates Papers
(beyond A* grade in GCSE maths) active book.
These papers have been written to challenge the most able pupils who are aiming from grade 9s on the new GCSE Maths 9-1 spec from summer 2017.
I don't claim the questions are 'Grade 9 Questions' but the more able student aiming for Grade 9 should be aiming to form logical answers to the questions. THEY ARE SUPER TOUGH AND SUPER ENJOYABLE AND IF YOU CAN DO THESE THEN YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!
The papers are free to download and can be used freely in any school or college but the answers are exclusive to this resource.

(Option 3) 100 Hard GCSE Questions.
(Old A* and new Grade 9) active book.
100 really tough GCSE questions (Generic and not exam board specific) Total Running Time 6 hours PLEASE NOTE! THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN PDF FORM, THEY ARE ONLY VIDEOS. DON'T BUY THIS ONE IF YOU WANT A PDF OF THE QUESTIONS, IT DOESN'T EXIST
These videos are aimed at students who want to achieve A* grades and Grade 9 on the new spec. I wrote all questions for my students and many go beyond the syllabus to really test mathematical skills. They provide a great springboard to A Level maths and are excellent revision videos for very able pupils who have been through past papers.
The questions won't necessarily come up on GCSE papers but they give pupils a great challenge and can be used as extension material in the classroom for higher ability students of all ages.

(Option 4) Learn 9-1 GCSE Foundation Maths in a Week.
This video series was designed and created by Outstanding Lead Teacher of Mathematics Steve Blades. Steve has had nearly 10 years experience with Foundation C/D borderline pupils on the old spec and has made a video series to help with the uncertainty and changes on the new 9-1 syllabus. The aim is to secure Grade 5s! This series was individually created by a teacher who is currently teaching this course day in day out rather than a company who just looked at the syllabus and made generic videos!
This is the perfect series for the power reviser who wants to get a Grade 5 on the new 9-1 GCSE Foundation Maths exam!
This collection of videos was made for my Year 11s to do some extra revision over 7 days for the new 9-1 Foundation GCSE.
The 7 videos range from 1 hour to 4 and a half hours long and are designed to be watched daily for last minute revision. For those looking for a more relaxed way of learning then the 9-1 Helpbook is probably more your thing. The helpbook also includes the full Higher content.
The 6 new areas of the GCSE are covered in 6 different videos followed by a final 'problem solving' style video to end the series. The problem solving aspect of the exam is where many students fall down so I have spent time looking at structuring the more tricky wordy questions.
I have decided to launch the video series to other students and parents as I know how some people are desperate to cram in a week! So, here is the full course (suitable for all exam boards) covered in around 20 hours. This could be the difference between a grade 4 and 5 for many students.
The first video on number is free on YouTube and the whole package is priced at £8.50 which includes the other 6 videos.
I decided to charge that figure in order to help keep the site running. I also put 40 hours into this over the holidays when I should have been sleeping so think it's a reasonable price! I feel it represents good value for money given an hour of tutoring from a qualified teacher would be £30. here you get a qualified teacher for about 43p and hour!
This is very much a running commentary type of videos series and "This is how and why we do it" with lot's of common misconceptions discussed and exam style techniques covered. It's very much 'as I go'. We look at basics and then some more challenging questions and ones that students often drop marks on.
This will suit students who need to brush up, revise more in depth or even learn the course from scratch.

(Option 5) Grade 5 Candidates Questions
The book below is aimed at students doing Foundation 9-1 Maths who are looking to secure a Grade 5. The booklet has exam style questions, questions that test understanding and questions that address misconceptions and badly answered topics.
I have taught borderline groups for over a decade now and each year as the GCSE evolves I spot the topics and types of questions that cause problems for students. This book is a collection of them along with new content and skills that are being tested more.
The idea is not necessarily to be able to do ALL of the questions but accessing a good proportion will allow students to score marks on papers that should lead to Grade 5s.
The book has 10 pages and each contains 8 questions (Ideal for homework!) and has 40 non calculator and 40 calculator questions.
I have trialed these this year with my Year 11's and they are enjoying them and making progress!
Download the book above! It's free an can be used in any classroom or at home.
