Edexcel maths – Foundation Paper 1 – with video solutions

January 26, 2018 by Simon Deacon Leave a Comment

Edexcel maths

This is the first post that deals with the Edexcel maths – Foundation Paper 1 – and it’s very tempting to just watch the videos through. Particularly as it might give the impression of revising ….

STOP!

You really need to download the papers first.

Try to work through each of the questions.

And then compare your answers.

Here’s a link to the Edexcel GCSE paper: Edexcel Foundation paper 1 non calculator

Here’s a link to the hand written worked answers: EDEXCEL Sample Foundation 1 WORKED ANSWERS

Here’s a link to the mark scheme: Edexcel Foundation paper 1 non calculator MARK SCHEME

 

Each video is around 20 minutes long and, by stopping, trying, starting and comparing, you should be able to achieve around an hours worth of focussed revision. It won’t always be easy – but you’ll feel a lot more in control by just trying the Edexcel maths foundation paper.

At the moment there’s a lot to do, and it can seem overwhelming. Particularly if ‘maths isn’t your thing’ it’s very hard to be motivated, so:

Make every small step count
Remember small steps add up
Picture yourself studying
Find someone to work with
Stop after one hour. Feel good.

We’re all supporting you. Don’t think that nobody cares, because I do.

Otherwise I wouldn’t be making these videos.

Here’s a table of the topics that the videos cover and please do add a comment below, or on the YouTube channel, if there is anything that you’re not sure of. I’ll always try to help.
