Chapter 8,ÌýThe BinomialÌýexpansionÌýis beyond the crossover content between GCSE and AS levelÌýMathsÌýand therefore we haven’tÌýincluded it. WeÌýstill wantÌýto ensure the chaptersÌýalignÌýtoÌýtheÌýYear 1 AS PureÌýMathsÌýtextbookÌýwhich is why we have retained the numbering of the chapters.

Some examples have been deliberately not included. ForÌýexample, forÌýChapter 1, we have Examples 1,3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12,13,14Ìýonly.ÌýÌý

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

This resource will help:Ìý

• to provide stretch and challenge for high achieving GCSE Maths students (aiming for grade 7-9)ÌýÌý
• students wanting to study A levelÌýMathsÌýÌý
• students studying AS levelÌýMathsÌý
• revision for AS and A levelÌýMathsÌýstudents.

PleaseÌýdownload the Instruction guideÌýto help you use this resource.

Here areÌýsomeÌýideas as to how you may use this resource:ÌýÌý

1. GCSE Students - direct more able students to the resource for someÌýstretchÌýandÌýchallenge. The videos explain how to do each example questionÌýare a great learning tool.ÌýÌý
2. Year 12 (and post-16) - after teaching a topic, direct students to the resource as a support toolÌýas there are lots of great practice questionsÌýand exam questions.
3. Year 13 (and post-16) - try the examples, practice questions and exam questionsÌýafter identifying gaps of knowledgeÌýandÌýuse as aÌýrevision toolÌýto consolidate learning.ÌýÌý

This resource includes:

1. Example questions
2. Video solutions
3. Practice questionsÌýÌý
4. End of chapter exam questions.

Each video is a talk-through of an example question from the Year 1 AS PureÌýMathsÌýtextbook.

Both. This is useful forÌýGCSEÌýstudentsÌýsuch as:

• high achieving students who would require stretch and a challengeÌýÌý
• GCSE students who want to study A levelÌýMaths.

This is useful forÌýA levelÌýstudents as:

• Ìýa resource for teachers to set as pre-requisite knowledgeÌý Ìý
• helps with fluency of key skills after the summer holidaysÌý
• useful for post-16 re-sit students studying A levelÌýMaths
• excellent resource for AS level MathsÌýrevision.

Of course. However, why not try the example question first to see how far you get and then watch the video to see where you got stuck or even better, check your solution.Ìý

The end of chapter exam questions are mainlyÌýAS and A level Maths exam questions and were intended for students who have completed the full syllabus and consolidated it over one or two years, rather than those starting to make the transition. MoreÌýconsolidation may be needed before these questions can be attempted as they are exam questions.Ìý
