Maths Skills for GCSE AQA Chemistry

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

Chapters cover:
  1. Arithmetic and numerical computation
  2. Handling data
  3. Algebra
  4. Graphs
  5. Geometry and trigonometry

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 Chemistry 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 Chemistry 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!

Particularly recommended for:

  • Start-of-course preparation
  • Holiday study
  • Brushing up at revision time

What do teachers say about this resource? (12397, 12398, 12399, 12400, 12401)

I really like how the resource showed how different maths skills can be applied to different topics in chemistry. This shows pupils the cross-curricular links between subjects really well. The amount of practice questions available, as well as the diagnostic tests seem very useful as well.
The detailed methodology and examples lend the resource quite well for independent learning or homework.
