Hello, I was wondering if the revision lessons with a tutor is set at a specific time and date each time. Or can it be according to my schedule?

Hi Lilyan,


The lessons go live on a Monday and Wednesday at 4pm, and on a Saturday at 10am, but they are then saved for 21 days for you to catch up on whenever is convenient for you - so you don’t have to watch them as they go live!


You are more than welcome to request any lessons too, and I’m always available for you to ask any questions you have 😀


Many thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura, I cannot find the written problems, once I click the same it takes me to sample bracket. Please advice.

Hello, if you click on the 'Topic Booklets' tab in the top menu you will get to the page where you can find all of the written problems - let me know if this still doesn't work for you!

Hi Laura, please could you help me with this question? I used the quadratic formula to find the values of x, but I don't know how to show how you get that equation?

Hi Hannah,


You need to find the area of the shape you have been given in terms of x. I have done this by splitting the shape into four parts and finding the area of each. You can then collect all of your like terms and make your equation equal to 100, as you have been told that this is the area!


You will be able to use your current answer in part b! You will take x = 3.5 as x needs to be a positive number (as it is a length)!

Hi Laura, I’ve just got a test back in class and still don’t understand what to do on question 9a? Please could you explain

Hi Amy,


A rule you need to remember is that anything to the power of 0 = 1.


So (4t)⁰ = 1, this means the question is just asking you to find 8 x 1, so the answer is 8 😀

Can I use the reason:

Angle AEB = Angle DEC because vertically opposite angles are equal

Hi Ayesha, yes you can but you would also need to state that you have used AAS (Angle, Angle, Side) to prove that the triangles are congruent!


Make sure you that you have still stated and proved that AB = AD, and also proven that either angle DCE and EAB or angle ABE and EDC are equal, as you cannot use three angles to prove that triangles are congruent - this would just prove that they are similar! 😀

Hi Laura, please could you explain how to answer this question? I have no idea where to start!!

Hi Amy,

To solve this you needed to make either x or y the subject of the second equation, and then square it (using double brackets), and then substitute it back into the first equation - have a look at the workings below!

Hi Laura, for the topic: product of prime factors, LCM and HCF, when answering questions asking to write a number as a product of its prime factor does it matter what order you wrote the final answer in? For the question below the mark scheme says that the answer is two squared times three squared but I have written it as three squared times two squared. Should it be in ascending order or would I still get the marks?

Hi Ayesha,

You would get full marks for the answer you have given, and your working is perfect! 😀

You would only be marked down for not putting the answer in ascending order if they had asked for you to do so.

Hi Becky, You need to form the triangle EMB to find the angle between EM and the base of the prism. You can find the length of MB using Pythagoras, and then you will be able to use Trigonometry to find the angle EMB. Have a look over the workings! 😀

Hi Lewis, on part a you were right to use Pythagoras to find the height but you have done this incorrectly. You need to form a right angled triangle and you are finding the shorter side - please see corrected work!


For part b I would split the surface area into sections, you need to find the area of each side and then add it all together to get your final surface area - have a look at the workings I have added 😀
