On Doctor Oliver Mathematics you will find an extensive library of worked examples, access these via examination papers or choose questions by topic. It is so valuable that the question and solution are presented together. At A level you will find both Mathematics and Further Mathematics.

Note also the sections on Proof for A Level Maths and also Further Maths, and the definitions for Year 12.

Hodder – Solutions for My Revision Notes (Pure)

Looking at some A Level texts From Hodder, we see My Revision Notes – Mathematics. The series includes the following books. In each case look for the Quick Links on the left – see Answers and full worked solutions. Questions and fully worked solutions for each section of the book are provided, whilst the documents refer to the books, they are complete in themselves.

Hodder – My Revision Notes series

When you select Answers and full worked solutions for any book, see AQA Pure for example, as well as the pdf document of questions with full worked solutions for the ‘Target your revision’, ‘Exam-style’ and ‘Review’ questions, you will find test yourself multiple-choice questions for each section.

A huge thank you to Hodder for providing such excellent and useful resources.

From Maths Genie, as well as all the excellent GCSE resources, we also have A Level worked examples. There are two AS Sample papers with worked solutions, Pure Mathematics and Statistics and Mechanics; also available are videos and examination questions by topic for both AS and A Level.


crashMATHS AQA style

From crashMaths these AS Maths Key Skills Check worksheets are very valuable for Year 13 in the second year of their A Level course. The Skills Checks are all on Pure Mathematics and make ideal lesson starters.

When working through solutions, take every opportunity to illustrate with technology. 

See also AS Level Question Countdown and/or the A-Level Countdown, these were created for the 2019 exams. Each set provides 10 worksheets of mixed questions with 7 questions on each sheet, 5 are pure questions and 2 are applied. Whilst written in the style of Edexcel, the subject content is the same for all examination boards.

I do like the way the pure section of the worksheets includes a mix of basic, problem and modelling questions.

On Dr Frost Maths, we can select examples by topic, there is an extensive collection of Key Skills examples, all with fully worked solutions.
