How to use these GCSE maths predicted papers and past papers

In our guide to how to revise for maths predicted maths papers, past papers and practice papers are recommended as being one of the best preparation techniques for the actual exam but you don’t always have to set them as a full paper. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Sit a paper in exam conditions

The obvious first way to use these papers is to give them to students in exam conditions to help them develop their exam technique and learn how and when marks are awarded. The paper could be marked by the class teacher or together as a class, either way there is value in sharing the mark scheme with your students.

Understanding how the mark scheme is used by examiners can help students to appreciate that there is a lot of value in simply attempting different GCSE maths questions. Writing down key pieces of information can result in a large percentage of marks being awarded without necessarily getting the answer fully correct. 

Papers sat in exam conditions can be used to identify the topics that students are more confident with, and those that require a little more support. This information can then be used to inform future planning. It is important that students are given time to reflect on their performance, either individually or as a class, and work on some of the topics that they found difficult. You could direct your students to the appropriate Third Space Learning revision guides and

2. Walkthrough a paper as a class

Working through a paper as a class can be very beneficial. It gives you as the teacher the opportunity to share exam tips and techniques with your students as well as modelling how different types of questions should be answered. For your students, it can give them the confidence to attempt questions in a low stakes environment. 

3. Ask students to work through a paper independently, with access to books or online resources

Allowing students to practise papers in an open book environment will give them the opportunity to ask questions and work on topics that they are less confident with. Students should be directed to appropriate text book pages or online resources for each question, allowing them to independently revise that topic.

Our online guides contain worked examples, practice questions and exam style questions for each topic from simultaneous equations to trigonometry and circle theorems and line graphs to sequences and everything in between.

4. Work through a paper in a small group

Encouraging a group of students to work together through an exam paper can benefit those students in a number of ways. By explaining to each other and problem solving together, they can gain a deeper understanding of the topics they are working on. 

5. Giving students carefully selected questions from a paper

You might choose to do this for several reasons. Perhaps, through the analysis of other work, you have identified a number of topics that a large proportion of the class needs to work on. 

Or, maybe, you want to highlight methods and techniques that are common across a certain type of question, for example ratio and proportion questions. Focussing revision in this way is an effective tool for strengthening your students’ skill and resilience in targeted areas. 

6. Build a lesson around a question that covers multiple topics

It is important to expose students to exam style questions that cover multiple topics. We often teach maths in a segmented way. This can leave students at a disadvantage when confronted with, for example, a probability question which requires the use of algebra.

Drawing attention to questions which cover multiple topics will give students the tools and confidence to use a range of skills when attempting questions.

The most important thing when planning a lesson involving the use of practice papers is to remember that we want students to learn from the exam papers. They will learn best if they are given the chance to reflect on any feedback and work through the areas that they found difficult. 

How we create our predicted GCSE maths papers each year

It’s a standard part of every teacher’s planning for the GCSE maths exams in June or resits in November to evaluate the success of your strategies last year, what you’re going to change, and what you’ll keep the same.

We do the same for the Third Space Learning GCSE maths tuition programme reviewing which lessons were particularly effective, whether we covered the most important topics with each student and looking at where we could improve.

What never changes however is the overarching approach we take in the online one to one tutoring for year 10 and 11. We are resolutely focused in the tuition on practising the skills of answering different types of GCSE questions.

They are always our starting point and from these we can start to delve deeper into any conceptual gaps.

We do this because we know that’s what’s most effective and efficient for students at this stage in their maths learning. We’ve been teachers ourselves, and all the teachers who work with us, by and large, take a similar approach.

Moving on to practice exam questions

However there comes a point when students need to start practising these maths questions back to back in a mixed topic environment, just like ‘the real thing’.

So that’s what you’ll get here.

In this blog, we will look at the best GCSE maths papers available online. We will delve into the specialist resources that can be found here at Third Space Learning as well as the best of what is on offer on other sites. You can of course also access the past GCSE papers from the exam boards websites.

What is special about predicted maths papers?

Predicted and practice papers are extremely useful to students because they:

• Provide the opportunity for revision and consolidation across a wide range of topics
• Expose students to exam style questions aimed at different grade levels
• Give students the opportunity to practise exam technique
• Get students used to moving confidently between topics
• Help students learn to identify what questions are asking them to do

In our experience, maths teachers have an endless appetite for practice papers to give their Year 11 in the run up to their GCSEs in June (and then again for November resits).

We’ll finish by saying that the use of any predicted or practice papers is only one part of preparing our students for exams and that papers should be used in a considered way alongside effective teaching and learning.
