Following on from our previous blogs on identifying different types of sequences and finding the nth term of a linear sequence, in this blog I will show you how to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence. It is important to note that this topic is only examinable on… Continue reading How to find the nth term of a quadratic sequence
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

Following on from the two previous blogs on factorising quadratic for foundation tier maths and higher tier maths factorising, in this blog I will use an example to explain why factorising is useful and how it will help you pass your maths GCSE. When you were first taught about putting… Continue reading Turning dragons into chihuahuas – why factorising is useful
