Description

This course is intended for parents or guardians of GCSE Maths students.In this GCSE Maths course, we’ll take a deep dive into the crucial topic of numbers, a foundation that underpins much of what you’ll encounter in your exams. We’ll start by exploring standard form, a vital concept that helps you work with very large or small numbers efficiently. From there, we’ll move on to bounds, where you’ll learn to determine the range within which a number lies, a skill that is essential for solving real-world problems with precision.we’ll tackle fractions, ensuring you can confidently handle everything from basic operations to more complex expressions. Surds, often a tricky area for students, will be broken down step by step, helping you to simplify and manipulate these irrational numbers with ease. We’ll also cover indices, giving you the tools to work with powers and roots in a variety of contexts. Rounding, another key skill, will be addressed in detail, so you can approximate numbers accurately and apply these techniques effectively in problem-solving scenarios.Throughout the course, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to apply what you’ve learned through exam-style questions designed to mirror the challenges you’ll face in your actual GCSE Maths exams. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of these essential topics, boosting your confidence and helping you to achieve your best possible results.
