Dr Frost Maths – Edexcel

On Dr Frost Maths, you can find Edexcel, AQA and OCR paper 3 prep all of which can be found on Summer 2024 Exam Practice. Or use the worksheet versions – I do like the way the skill involved is noted; for question 2 for example, we can practice expanding brackets where the multipliers are positive integers.

Dr Frost Maths Key Skills

To quote the important reminder from Dr Frost Maths:

This set of questions is comprised of past exam paper questions or those from our Question Generators on drfrost.org. These resources have been designed to aid with revision for the Summer 2024 exams, considering topics which commonly appear on the calculator papers and those which have already been examined in Paper 1 or 2. There is no guarantee that any topics assessed in Paper 1 or 2 will not appear again. Hence, these should not be considered as predicted papers and should not be relied upon for total preparation for Paper 3.

Checking a question with a student recently, this Triangle calculator on MathPortal.org proved very useful. If any three triangle properties of an oblique triangle are provided you can find the missing side, angle or area. The calculator shows all the steps and gives a full explanation for each step. I like the way you can save a particular example.
