How to work with indices – GCSE maths practice questions

January 31, 2016 by Simon Leave a Comment

How to work with indices

GCSE mathematics questions on how to work with indices appear on many exam papers and you can download the questions from here. They can be a little challenging and please do practice all of the problems – I’ll arrange a link to the answers very soon 🙂

The main things to remember when you are asked how to work with indices are:

– Learn the basic concepts – for instance 36 to the power of a half is the same as square root of 36
– Work logically through each problem, although don’t spend too much time as they tend to be only 1 or 2 marks.

If you’d like to ask for any more detail, or you’re not sure about anything, please do ask a question in the comments section.

All best with your studies 🙂
