This set of resources are part of our Transition to A level Mathematics: Essential Skills series, which focuses on the key skills that will be used across the whole spectrum of AS and A level Mathematics, to support students in the initial transition from GCSE to A level.
This particular set of resources looks at the key skill of simplifying numerical and algebraic expressions – an essential component in maths – and how it is applied to fractions, indices and surds in particular.
Each section includes:
- skills check
- a chance to practise and explore
- some extra ideas that you may want to investigate further
These resources should provide about 3 hours of work. If you really get engaged by the enrichment activities, you may want to spend longer than this.
Each resource includes either written worked solutions, video solutions or links to websites.
