A "Next Steps Towards GCSE Maths" course is designed to help learners bridge the gap between their current math skills and the level required for success in GCSE Maths

  • Entry Requirements


    Basic numeracy skills, typically equivalent to a Level 1 or Grade 3 in Maths.

    A willingness to engage actively with exercises and problem-solving activities.

    No formal prior qualifications are strictly required, but familiarity with basic arithmetic is recommended.

  • Course Content


    Foundation Topics: The course typically revisits key mathematical concepts that form the foundation for GCSE Maths, such as arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, and basic algebra. This ensures that learners have a solid understanding of essential topics.

    GCSE-Level Preparation: As the course progresses, it introduces more advanced topics that are part of the GCSE Maths syllabus, including geometry, ratios, probability, data handling, and further algebra. The course focuses on both understanding these concepts and applying them to problem-solving scenarios.

    Problem-Solving Skills: A significant emphasis is placed on developing problem-solving skills, with practice on a variety of GCSE-style questions. This helps learners become familiar with the types of questions they will encounter in the exam and how to approach them effectively.
