Introduction to the Revision Guide
Aims
The aim of the revision guide is to provide you with a resource that you can use to link to theory,
examples and practice questions.
The four main areas to revise are:
• Number
• Algebra
• Shape, space and measure
• Handling data
How to use the guide
The tables that follow include the following information:
• A summary of the area, including an indication of whether it is a Foundation (F) or Higher
(H) tier topic
• An example of a question relating to the topic
• A link to a textbook or online resource
• An indication of the level of difficulty of a particular topic. (Please treat this with care, it is a
guide only)
• A self assessment column for you to review your own strengths and weaknesses
Before you start your revision there are two questions that you need to consider:
• What grade am I aiming for?
• What topics do I need to improve to achieve my target grade?
You should use the self assessment column to identify areas that you need to improve to achieve
your goal. There is little benefit to be gained from practising topics that you can already do
confidently. Equally, if you want to achieve a B it is not worth spending too much time revising A*
topics. Think about where you need to improve and target these areas. If you get stuck then ask
your teacher or come along to a Surgery……

Using the different resources
The Revision Guide provides links to three main resources.
IGCSE Book 1 and Book 2
You should have a copy of IGCSE Book 2. Copies of IGCSE Book 1 are available in the Maths
Department. When working through exercises remember that you can check your work by looking
at the answers to the odd questions in the back of the book
MEP Books
There are three books: Unit 1‐6, Unit 7‐12 and Unit 13‐19. Hard copies of the books are available in
the Maths Department. Alternatively, you can click on the links to access the books online.
If you want to check your answers look in the back of the textbook or use the following links:
• Solutions to Unit 1‐6
• Solutions to Unit 7‐12
• Solutions to Unit 13‐19
MyMaths
There are links to both online lessons (L1, L2 etc) and online homeworks (H1, H2 etc). To log on to
MyMaths you need to know:
• School Password: Bradfield
• School Login: Seven
If you want to keep track of your scores, you will also need an individual login and password. If you
haven’t got this already you can obtain this from your teacher. Alternatively, you can do the
homework tasks for fun. In this case you do not need an individual password.
