Westie's Workshop

big update: my IGCSE ppt now includes all PPQsa not password protected on the Edexcel site. Can be downloaded with just new Qs or Old ones or, if your comp. can cope with 7000+ slides, as one super-resource from TES (my website couldn't handle the upload). westiesworkshop.com/past-paper-que…

@themathsbazaar @mrmanps 2025 revision booklet word or pdf also now on same link

@themathsbazaar @mrmanps you are able to download pdfs with hyperlinks to each topic from the IGCSE support page on the website. Feel free to share. westiesworkshop.com/course-support…

the state of play on b.link/bestguessgcse keep telling me when you find things that I don't have yet!

@westiesworkshop That would be amazing thank you so much!

Predictions for Edexcel IGCSE Paper 2. Without any unconscious bias or human preconceptions, but purely through statistical analysis.

@katepilgrim3 Once I have access to the R paper on Monday Tuesday I can put something together if you'd like? I've programmed the spreadsheet so wouldn't take too long.

@westiesworkshop Thank you. We did the regional paper so wanted to check. Thanks again

@katepilgrim3 yes

@westiesworkshop Are these for 2H paper? Thank you

@lizziesquilts @1stclassmaths I'll be putting together predictions when I get my hands on the papers if you're interested.

@1stclassmaths No worries! Looking forward to your AQA ones nonetheless 😊

On Thursday afternoon/evening I will share topic lists for what I would prioritise for paper 2. These rely on me having copies of the papers though, which can be variable... These will not be posted here though. It will be on the other platform. Follow me there... (pinned tweet)

@2chaotic2 @BicenMaths @mrsouthernmaths @river_maths @mathsjem @ECR_Maths Also this: I would avoid using spec paper qs as they are behind a password wall so should really be kept out of public domain

@2chaotic2 @BicenMaths @mrsouthernmaths @river_maths @mathsjem @ECR_Maths I go through my ppts (all exam qs) until I find something I like. Then assemble on a word doc. As they're organised by topic already it is quite quick to get some things I like.

Newbie FM teacher, planning topic tests for AS FMCP1 and struggling to find questions other than the limited supply on emporium. What do others maths do?Any suggestions? @BicenMaths @mrsouthernmaths @river_maths @mathsjem @westiesworkshop @ECR_Maths thanks in advance.

Summer project 1 finished: All Core Pure PPQs by topic have been updated up to 2023's papers. AS and legacy questions included but on separate (linked pages). Enjoy!

@2chaotic2 @river_maths @TLMaths @BicenMaths @river_maths just finished updating. To access AS only go into the topic and there will be links above the main ppt presentation. westiesworkshop.com/past-paper-que…

@2chaotic2 @river_maths @TLMaths @BicenMaths @river_maths my summer project is to update my ppqs for fm a level which include AS. There are also support sections on the website with videos, handouts and extra worksheets

Help please! Teaching Y12 A level Further Maths for the first time in September. Anyone got any good resources or sites to visit? Any advice? New term nerves kicking in already 😬

not a bad set of predictions - fairly accurate again with the only anomalies coming from a 96% topic not coming up and a low sample size affecting the 0.5 group:

Predictions/ Probabilities for IGCSE paper 2

@giftedHKO I really enjoy qs from topics which are lazily associated with lower grades. Attached are examples of higher level thinking for what are often regarded as easy topics that really test understanding. I like bringing them out when I hear "standard form questions are level..."

Help please! Can you share your favorite GCSE exam Q. I want to compile a top 20 fave Qs for my higher top set group. I said I’m not a fan of most exam Qs but every now and then I come across a really nice Q. I have a few but want more Qs that aren’t just procedural maths

@Ridermeister @giftedHKO That is so generous thank you! This will really help cover the costs of upkeeping the website. Embedded powerpoints are staying, but I generally only have time to update every other year. Glad they are useful!

@TeamSquadratics @MEIMaths found it!

@westiesworkshop @MEIMaths Yeah i found them , i believe i made the same mistake that the ritangle may have made

It's a Friday and it's question 13 (it could be lucky for some)

@TeamSquadratics @MEIMaths We are now trying to think of misconceptions that would lead to an incorrect answer

@westiesworkshop @MEIMaths Yeah we proved the answer that we got (which the website said was correct) was wrong
