GCSE Maths Official Thread (resources provided)

:hi::hi::hi::hi:Hey:hi::hi::hi::hi:

This is GCSE Maths thread- for helping out each other OR you can ask me for any help you need...
I have many resources if you want any feel free to ask me :h:
Also this thread applies to all the exam board because pretty much all the exam boards have the same topic (it's just the way the structure set up in the exam is different)
Recently i have seen so many threads on maths asking for help and they all were repeated... :clap2::clap2::clap2:
SO i think in this thread you can ask me any help you want (higher or foundation) :yeah:
so here are some tips and helpful websites with resources that can help you to achieve the best grades you deserve
1- If you don't understand something, focus on mastering that topic before moving on to the next topic.
2- Work example problems and check your answers to gain practice with every lesson.
3- When beginning to work a Math problem, do not "map out a path from problem-to-answer" in your head before writing anything down.
4- When you study and do homework, try to find a quiet place to do it.
5- If someone asks you for help, try to explain the topic to them as best you can.
Ask your teacher to help you out
Watch videos on youtube, there are many youtubers and lessons you can look for

Me personally don't like mymaths even many teacher says do mymaths- but the reason i don't like is because, they are not in an exam structure and i prefer doing actual past paper is the best method to do and you will understand the struture too... believe me the same question comes in the exam everytime, they just changed the numbers

They should be up on the edexcel website by now? If not, it won't be long until they are. My teacher said that they are usually published online by March.
