A mathematics resources compilation:
- GCSE Big Revision Quizzes – Craig Barton
- Explain the errors – Andy Lutwyche
- Sparx Maths Crossover Workbooks (free)
- AMSP Further Maths Conference Resources
- Dr Frost Key Skills
In a recent Miscellany post, I highlighted the extensive library of free resources of questions, video lessons and supporting material for maths teachers available on Eedi. Now we have the collection GCSE Big Revision Quizzes, for Foundation, Cross-over and Higher with 20 topics for each.
The topics have been chosen using Eedi’s massive data set to identify the topics students most often struggle with and to address common misconceptions within those topics.
Each quiz comes with diagnostic questions, worked example videos, fluency practice questions, problem-solving questions and explain the mistake activities.
On the subject of explaining mistakes, readers of this blog will be aware of a favourite resource author of mine – Andy Lutwyche. Searching for a resource recently, I came across a series of resources of Andy’s I had not seen before, Explain the Errors.
I have featured many excellent resources from Andy on explaining mistakes – see this Spot the Mistake collection which includes A level resources.
From Andy for A level, we have a whole collection of Erica’s Errors, including some for Mechanics, and from Stoke Maths, we have a collection of very attractively presented high-quality resources. It’s great to see the Mechanics and Statistics collections.
Sparx Maths Crossover Workbooks are free GCSE resources using content from Sparx Maths; a series of six crossover workbooks is available. Each workbook focuses on a particular Strand of maths, Number, Algebra, Ratio and Proportion, Geometry, Probability or Statistics and contains questions from key crossover topics that appear in both the GCSE Foundation and Higher tier papers. The workbooks feature two question types, “Introduce” questions to practise the key concepts or “Deepen” mixed topic questions which are more challenging reasoning and problem-solving
questions. Answers are provided.

AMSP have very helpfully made their Further Maths Conference resources available here. Looking at the Further Maths Autumn Conference 2023 resources, I really like the set of slides – Introduction to series – there are some great ideas and resources there for A level Further Maths teachers. The resources and answers are available at the end of the slide set. I do like the style of the slides with the footer clearly showing the content and progress through it.
I have often mentioned the excellent Doctor Frost Key Skills. A preview of the DF Index, the new skills list, consisting of 906 skills and 5116 subskills is available here. The Doctor Frost team have looked at tens of thousands of exam questions and scoured curriculum documents around the world. you can see the preview of the list here. The team welcome any feedback before the list goes live in January. These are such valuable resources.
