In terms of negatives, the only real ones I can think of are that the material tends to be extremely dry. I would also comment that he does not really offer multiple strategies for working out problems. However, the question practice alone is probably reason enough to invest in his books.

As schools spend a lot of time wishing to press forward and work on the more advanced topics, this basic knowledge tends to be neglected. As a foundation student, you should try to take on the responsibility of shoring up these basics as much as possible.

We have compiled them to make file management a thing of beauty: Edexcel Maths Foundation GCSE Sample PapersAlgebra is not only useful when questions explicitly ask for a student to solve an equation or form an expression; it can be used to solve problems that make no mention of algebra.
You can also attend training events, including our popular free Maths Network events where you can talk to colleagues and share best practice.
There are a great deal of useful resources geared to help you excel in GCSE. I have sub-divided them into sections to make it slightly easier to follow: Topic Textbooks content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/BTEC-Level-2-Technicals/grade-boundaries-june-2023-btec-level-2-technicals.pdf We recommend the Essential Maths series as the main learning textbook. It has a friendly, and easy-to-follow layout. There are also a few exam style questions at the end of each chapter, that provide students essential test practice. Many students who come to us for tuition, really struggle when it comes to algebraic concepts. Perhaps most notably, rearranging/changing the subject in a formula is something that needs special attention.
I absolutely love the way Peter Robson breaks down each method in his books. He provides a no-nonsense approach that can sometimes appeal to the older students, His books provide a fantastic platform for students who are looking to build their basic skills. Although the books are catered towards independent school and 11 plus extry, they are really useful for KS3 and GCSE students who need to sharpen their foundations. We actually take a great deal of inspiration in our own tuition practice from Peter Robson. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Edexcel-Award/2306-level-3-edexcel-awards-subject-grade-boundaries.pdfcontent/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/Project-qualifications/2306-level-1-2-3-project-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf These problems can get far more difficult, but even in their simplest forms, they can help students gain a better understanding of how equations are put together. content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/International-Primary-Lower-and-Secondary-Curriculum/2306-ipls-subject-grade-boundaries.pdf
