AQA GCSE Maths June/November 2021 Higher Paper 1 (Non Calculator) Walkthrough

Correction: Q13 answer should be 0.83 recurring not 6.83 recurring. There really shouldn’t be an answer line as it says “show” it’s a recurring decimal so you need to use division (converting fractions to decimals) technique.

Q13 answer should 0.83 recurring not 6.83 recurring

[Curious_George]

Bro i heavily appreciate u putting all the subjects we need to know for the non calculator paper 1 maths. ❤️
Gcse right now and am cooked for maths

[RJVEER]

Thanks so much sir for the videos! Im doing yr 10 mocks rn and u got 55 and 71 on papers 1 and 2. I got paper 3 tomorrow and ur videos helped me revise so much

[UmaR_Editz_z]

19:25 what if they ask you to find that side then what should we do what equation do we use cuz i cant remember any and i have exam tomorrow

[xaarn]

13:54 the answer is 0.83 recurring not 6.83 recurring, its a fraction 5/6 so it cant be above 1.

Hi for questions 21 i dont understand why as theres a double difference of plus 6 it means 3n squared is in the formula where did that come from ?is it because its a quadratic ?

[hmd.]

for Q23 could the answer be x= 1/y^2 + 1 - Like the 1 being directly next to the y^2 or does the 1 HAVE to be next to the fraction itself?

[udk]

Do you think theres any difference if i have an attempt at the whole test first then watch or if j just watch your video attempt the questions with you so i can skip ones i know

[rwfhgro]

this may sound stupid but i understand everything apart from 24b. Why do we substitute g[x] in x?

[cailliac]

How does Question 26 work. -4F onto the side with +2F would lead to -2F no?

[diya]

you know question 26, right at the end you randomly divide them by each other? how does that work? surely if 5e = 6f the ratio is just 5:6? thanks for the video btw.

[ravishankarurp]

Could you please explain how Q15 works? Was very confused and not sure how you can even simplify to 3a^2 = 75 as there are 2 undefined variables. I have checked the mark scheme and there isn't really a clear explanation there either. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks for the video though.

[wintrluvc]

for 28a, why did you draw a point at (0, 0)? also ty for your videos, they are really helpful!

[Jraaaa-pdcc]

for question 26 why is the ratio not 5:6 as theres 5e and 6f?

[Shrek_itzmiya]

I don’t understand any of question 18 (a). Can u recommend any videos on the topic. I have no idea on understanding it

[itzmelana]

Have you got anything for November 2022 foundation AQA?

[thedeltastrat]

14:16 how on earth do you get from that massive equation to 3a squared = 75. You can't just make the other numbers dissapear???

[twizargs]

For q29 could you also say reflected in y=x+2

[aodooo]

I don’t understand 28 (c) isn’t it surprise to be Rita reflected it on y axis not x axis

[Grave_yard]

How did u get positive 11 in question 9 and positive 3 coz they r all negative
