Transformations include translations, reflections, rotations and enlargements. Students must perform these on coordinate grids and describe transformations fully using correct mathematical language.
Our tutors see these errors again and again. Knowing them in advance gives you a head start.
Not giving a fully described transformation (e.g., rotation without stating the centre and direction)
Confusing the scale factor direction (negative scale factors invert the shape)
Mixing up which axis to reflect in when the mirror line is y = x
This topic is tested by the following exam boards. Our tutors are specialists in each one.
Vectors represent quantities with both magnitude and direction. Higher-tier GCSE students use vectors to describe translations and prove geometric results using vector addition, subtraction and scalar multiplication.
Geometry & MeasuresSimilar shapes have the same angles but different sizes. Students must identify similarity, use scale factors to find missing lengths, and at higher tier apply the square and cube relationships to areas and volumes.
AlgebraStraight-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.
A detailed breakdown of the 10 most challenging GCSE Maths topics on the Higher tier. For each topic, understand why it is difficult, the most common mistakes, and practical strategies to master it.
Online LearningDiscover online maths games that make learning advanced concepts fun and accessible. From algebra puzzles to geometry challenges, these games build real skills without students even realising it.
