Maths Skills for GCSE AQA Physics

Essential grounding in the key maths skills for GCSE AQA Physics. Builds confidence and proficiency in mathematical manipulation for relevant real-life contexts.

Chapters cover:
  1. Arithmetic
  2. Algebra
  3. Handling data
  4. Graphs
  5. Trigonometry

Plus! Spec-mapping checklist for AQA!

For each skill:

  • Clear and concise overview reminds students when to apply the skill.
  • Step-by-step worked examples show students how to apply the skill.
  • Practice questions, including exam-style Physics questions. All supporting information provided, so students can hone their maths even before learning the topic!
  • Full answers for easy marking; students can see where they went wrong and learn from their mistakes.

Allows you to focus on teaching the physics rather than revising the maths. Includes two diagnostic tests to identify areas of understanding and weaknesses at the start and end of the course.

Ideal to use at any time during the course – including for homework or cover lessons!

Covers a wide range of numeric skills

  • Brushing up at revision time

What do teachers say about this resource? (11744, 11745, 11746, 11747, 11748)

Nice to see a focus on maths skills other than equation input and rearrangement. Gives some dedicated time and space to specific aspects of maths as applied to physics – some examples for students to refer to. Good coverage of and focus on softer mathematical skills that are often neglected/assumed as given.

C Knight, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Fairly comprehensive, covering a wide range of numeric skills. I liked the many examples for practice use plus worked examples.

R Woodman, Head of Science & Peer Reviewer

There is a lot of good content here. Students should be able to work through the resource independently
