Sequence questions test pattern recognition and formula derivation. Students work with arithmetic, geometric, quadratic and special sequences, finding nth-term rules and using them to solve problems.
Our tutors see these errors again and again. Knowing them in advance gives you a head start.
Confusing the common difference with the first term when writing the nth-term formula
Using the term-to-term rule instead of the position-to-term rule for the nth term
Making arithmetic errors with negative common differences
This topic is tested by the following exam boards. Our tutors are specialists in each one.
Straight-line graphs are tested at every tier and form the basis for understanding gradients, intercepts and real-world modelling. Students need to plot lines from equations, find gradients and interpret y = mx + c.
AlgebraQuadratic graphs produce a characteristic U-shape (parabola) and are tested at both foundation and higher tier. Students must plot quadratics from tables, identify key features like turning points and roots, and use graphs to solve equations.
AlgebraFunction notation is a higher-tier topic that formalises the input-output relationship. Students evaluate, combine, and find inverses of functions, building skills that are directly extended at A-Level.
