2 Core revision worksheets

The ‘Worksheet’ and ‘Answers’ buttons launch chapter-specific PDFs; there are two PDFs for
each chapter in the Coursebook. Each ‘Worksheet’ PDF contains questions to cover a
mixture of the topics from the given chapter. Each ‘Answers’ PDF provides the answers.
These worksheets and answers are a useful revision tool, and/or can help to establish areas
that require more revision or to just generally test overall understanding of the chapter. They
are NOT exhaustive though and students are encouraged to do as many practice questions
as they can beyond what is provided in both the Coursebook and these worksheets.

These worksheets cover only the Core material from the syllabus (though it is not guaranteed
that all of the Core material will be covered). Students taking the Extended course are
encouraged to instead do the ‘Extended revision worksheets’ as these cover content from
both the Core and Extended syllabus.

3 Extended revision worksheets

The ‘Worksheet’ and ‘Answers’ buttons launch chapter-specific PDFs; there are two PDFs for
each chapter in the Coursebook. Each ‘Worksheet’ PDF contains questions to cover a
mixture of the topics from the given chapter. Each ‘Answers’ PDF provides the answers.
These worksheets and answers are a useful revision tool, and/or can help to establish areas
that require more revision or to just generally test overall understanding of the chapter. They
are NOT exhaustive though and students are encouraged to do as many practice questions
as they can beyond what is provided in both the Coursebook and these worksheets.

These worksheets cover both the Core and Extended material from the syllabus (though it is
not guaranteed that all of the syllabus content will be covered). It is indicated at the top of
each worksheet what questions cover Core or Extended material; Core material is repeated
from the ‘Core revision worksheets’ so Extended students only need to use the worksheets
accessed via this Extended page, and not both sets of worksheets. Whilst we suggest that
those students taking the Extended course also practice questions on Core content,
the Extended questions are highlighted with a grey panel so that students can target
the Extended-specific content if they wish or if time is limited.

Use the ‘NEXT’ button on the CD-ROM interface to view more chapters.

4 Quick revision

This page contains links to four ‘strand’ submenus that contain chapter-specific interactive
questions. An example submenu page is shown below:

Each revision test is chapter-specific and covers material

at random. Not all of the chapter content is revised.
These questions mainly cover the Core syllabus, which we
hope will reinforce to Extended students that they need to
revise the Core content as well as the Extended material.
They are a simple quick-fire revision tool to practice and
revise in a different way to pen and paper but are not
exhaustive and should be used in conjunction with other
revision tools. The interactive activities range from ‘drag
and drop’, ‘multiple choice’, to ‘hide and reveal’ and are
launched in your web browser once you press on the
button. For some chapters, there are additional questions
for the ‘Extended’ part of the syllabus, as indicated by an
‘Extended’ button.

An example interactive question is shown below, the answers are on rectangles that can be
dragged to the correct location: on the left you have before and on the right you have during.

5 Worked solutions to exam questions

This menu contains links to worked solutions for each chapter, ordered by strand. For each
chapter, a couple of the end of chapter examination questions have been worked through,
providing clues and tips to help with the examination. Students are encouraged to work the
answers out themselves but if they get stuck can reveal clues to point them in the right
direction. Alternatively, if the students do not know where to even start, they could reveal all
the clues and tips and use them as a helpful guide and reminder of the methods they should
know and this could be used as a helpful revision tool for topics they struggle with.

Use the ‘NEXT’ button on the CD-ROM interface to view more chapters.

An example screen is shown below, the answers and clues can be revealed simply by clicking
on them. On the left you have the screen at the start of the activity and on the right the same
screen but all ‘Clue’ buttons and green panels have been clicked on revealing content.

6 Calculator support

This page contains links to three PDFs. The ‘Calculator support chapter’ is a short document
that contains a list of FAQs that the authors received from their students. They cover some of
the more common calculator issues that students seem to have, and provide guidance on
how to use their calculators in those circumstances. Students are encouraged to read the
manual that accompanies their calculator. There are three worksheets (complete with
answers) that allow the students to practice using their calculators for some of the problem
areas covered in the calculator support chapter.
