a2 + b2 = c2.That’s Pythagoras’ theorem. What it says is that in a right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the two smaller sides equal the square of the longest side (or hypotenuse).From my experience, most GCSE students understand what Pythagoras’ theorem is, but when it comes to… Continue reading Easy as Py – a guide to Pythagoras’ Theorem
In this blog, we will look at distance, speed and time calculations and I will show you a handy trick that will help you to remember how to calculate them.First of all – distance, speed and time are all related. If you have two of them, you can use them… Continue reading Distance, speed and time calculations
In this blog, I will show you a method for solving linear equations.Solving equations is the most useful aspect of algebra you will learn at school. Take the example below… Solve 3x + 1 = 13 The x is just a number that we don’t know yet. Solving an equation… Continue reading A guide to solving linear equations
Following on from the last blog on identifying different types of sequences, in this blog I will show you how to find the nth term of a linear sequence. This is a relatively simple process, but is incredibly useful. What is the nth term, and why is it useful? First… Continue reading How to find the nth term of a linear sequence
If you’re studying for your maths GCSE, you will have encountered a lot of different sequences. For both foundation and higher GCSE mathematics, you need to be able to identify these different types of sequences:1. Linear sequencesLinear sequences are the most common and simplest type of sequence you see in… Continue reading Different Types of Sequences for GCSE Maths
