GCSE Mathematics

Not a list of rules.
A language you learn to speak.

Our GCSE maths courses rebuild the subject from the ground up. Every topic is taught before it is tested: students meet the idea, see why it must be true, then practise until the reasoning is their own. Number lays the foundations; Algebra turns patterns into relationships you can describe, predict and question.

Questions worth wondering about

Curiosity first.
Understanding follows.

Eight weeks per course. Taught lessons with worked examples, interactive practice with hints, numbered tests and a personal progress bar.

Why does a negative times a negative make a positive?

It is not a rule to remember. Follow the pattern 3 × −2, 2 × −2, 1 × −2, 0 × −2 and watch what the next answer has to be.

Is 0.999… really equal to 1?

Yes, and by the end of Week 1 of Number you will be able to prove it to a sceptical friend.

A taxi costs £3, then £2 a mile. What is y = 3 + 2x?

The same journey, written in another language. Algebra is the grammar of how things change.

GCSE Number

The real number system, powers and standard form, surds, fractions, percentages, ratio, bounds and financial maths.

Number is the ground every other topic stands on. Understanding means seeing why a rule for fractions or powers must be true, not just following it.

  1. Week 1: The real number system
  2. Week 2: Powers, roots and standard form
  3. Week 3: Surds and exact values
  4. Week 4: Fractions, decimals and recurring decimals
  5. Week 5: Percentages and proportional growth
  6. Week 6: Ratio, proportion and compound units
  7. Week 7: Estimation, approximation and bounds
  8. Week 8: Financial mathematics

GCSE Algebra

Functions, graphs, equations and exponential growth.

Algebra connects rules, patterns and relationships. Understanding means knowing what a rule says, why it works and where its limits lie, not simply remembering the steps.

  1. Week 1: What is a function?
  2. Week 2: Reading a function's graph
  3. Week 3: The equation of a line
  4. Week 4: Linear modelling
  5. Week 5: Systems of linear equations
  6. Week 6: Piecewise linear functions
  7. Week 7: Exponents and radicals
  8. Week 8: Exponential functions
