Tips for presenting your mathematical work clearly and effectively, including reasoning, calculations and conclusions
This will support you to meet the Organising, Communicating, and Writing accurately requirements.
This video is relevant to Year 10 students who are studying the new GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award) course and Year 11 students who are studying the GCSE Mathematics – Numeracy course.
Please be aware that this video works out the calculations without a calculator, whereas a calculator is allowed in Unit 1 of the new specification. Please also be aware that the unit structure is different in the new specification. However, the content of all the questions included in this video is relevant to both courses.
Year 11 (the old specification)
- Unit 1 Mathematics Numeracy Non-calculator (higher tier)
Year 10 (the new specification – teaching from 2025)
- Unit 1 Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award)
A calculator is allowed in Unit 1 of the new course, but bear in mind that this video is showing Non-calculator workings out.
