I did it a couple of years ago, so I can't remember the specifics. However, the key to getting one of the top grades is to analyse the relationship between two continuous variables - use height and weight. As boring as this sounds, it gives you the best scope for analysis. Good luck!

Hi ppl

I really need help with maths coursework which is mayfield high school and have no idea where to start so pleas ppl help and i want to get good grade.
i will be very thankful if some one help me

bye 4 now


There are many resources on the internet for Mayfield High school GCSE coursework.

Start by doing a 'google' and entering 'Mayfield high school coursework' in the search box.

Visit all the links and you will get so much information and help it will be coming out of your ears!

This really is the best way to do it - it gets you accustomed to 'independent learning' (a great preparation for further/higher study) and helps you achieve that good grade you desire. :smile:

Perhaps you could ask your teacher for advice if you are struggling.

do about 3 hypotheses, and at the end try and conclude it so you have a method of finding out what one variable will be when you only know the other (line of best fit on a scatter graph), things like that. Question the data as well, social backgrounds, surroundings of the high school etc etc.

load of hypotheses
plan
stratify data
boxplots, histograms, cumulative frequency curves and scattergraphs for everything you look at, with explanations
big conclusion taking everything into account at the end.


along with the mayfield data, i then went on to look at actually data from my school. same procedure again.

i ended up with 36 pages, 7,500 words, and 42 graphs. so aim for that kind of size...

Wow! I didn't do that coursework (I'm not even sure what it is) but the two maths GCSE courseworks I did probably didn't even half of that combined! I imagine different exam boards require different things of you though.

mmm, i know. The other coursework i did was a lot simpler, and more to the point. however, this mayfield one is a stats coursework, and stats demands lots of graphs and analysing. There's no way other way around it.
