This is a playlist selection of around 78 videos aimed at GCSE A* to C grade. The list includes subjects under the four main headings of algebra, statistics, geometry and numbers. Some of the topics have 2 or 3 videos such as trigonometry, algebra, long division, long multiplication, prime numbers, factorising, SohCahToa and circle theorem.

Please also search the channel for anything more specific. Or contact me and I'll be glad to help !

This is a series of quick reminder videos lasting around 3 minutes. They're generally higher grade but are designed to help you gain a few extra marks on those exam questions.... that you just haven't revised for a while.

Please let me know if these are useful and I'll be pleased to create more - thanks. Any ideas, suggestions and comments really appreciated. The topics covered currently are surds, sequences, nth term, rationalising the denominator, fractions, percentages, decimal conversions, algebra and inequalities.

If you need any more detail please search the channel videos :-) .. or contact me and I'll be pleased to help.

GCSE mathematics questions on how to rearrange or change the subject of a formula appear on many exam papers and you can download the questions from http://www.3minutemaths.co.uk. They can be a little challenging and please do practice all of the problems.

The main things to remember when working with rearranging or changing the subject of the formula are:

- Work down the page, always balancing everything around the = sign
- 'Do the opposite' so, if a term is multiplied, you need to divide ... if added, you need to subtract
- Whatever you do to one side .. you need to do to the other.
- It's very useful to leave plenty of space and show all your working :-)
- Don't rely on mental arithmetic (unless you're very confident)

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. I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve posted an answer.

Reminder videos to encourage a solid foundation.
