Edexcel GCSE Mathematics: Higher Complete Revision and Practice (Oxford Revise: Maths)

A good revision book

This book is very clear and has example questions. The whole entire curriculum is in one book!

Very good

Having previously used the excellent CGP books for GCSE Maths, I thought I would try OUP. What a mistake. There's no index and the two pages of contents have no topic headings, thereby making searching for the topic you want, very slow. Having found Circle Theorems, there were two errors to do with an isoceles triangle where the authors mistakenly made a side (radius) and the base equal. This is not the quality that I would have expected from OUP, so the book is being returned.

For years, we've had the same old revision guides. Too much information on a page, not focussing on key information and trying to group Maths topics by grade, where that isn't even possible! This were the issues I had when I was in school, and the issues I had as a teacher, and Head, of Maths.You can imagine my relief when I came across the OUP guides, then! Here was a revision guide which was clear, coherent and didn't try to approximate grades to topics.The layout of the revision guides are certainly in line with common understanding of cognitive load theory and dual coding. The pages are clutter free and maintain a focus on a key learning point. This is exactly the type of book students need to be using, and exactly what I wish that I'd have had at school!From a deliberate practice perspective, the guides have clear models followed by specific deliberate practice on the same topic area. Once again, the questions are clear and in line with the models just provided. Questions are also copious, and follow exam formats too, which is very helpful.I was fortunate that when I was Head of Maths, I could change our revision book offering over to OUP. These guides sold like hot cakes too, with most students in both Year 10 and Year 11 getting themselves a copy.What should also be noted are the prices these can be purchased for through OUP. You'd expect them to cost a fortune, but they really don't!I'd strongly recommend checking out these guides, and recommending them to your students before anything else that is out there.

I got this for my daughter who is currently in year 10 studying her gcses. This revision guide was easy to access and work through it is really clearly layed out which makes it more accessible for all different learners and their abilities.It has a good mix of explanation of different mathematical topics but also a lot of recall and exam questions to strengthen their knowledge and understanding. I would usually purchase CGP guides however due to my daughter being dyslexic she finds it hard to read from the paper but this is brilliant as the pages aren’t fully white. It is all colour coded.I will likely buy more from this brand in the future

This A4 revision book for Edexcel GCSE Higher Maths is well presented & has coverage of all the key topics for the subject, neatly laid out with Knowledge, Retrieval & Practice sections that neatly break it down into easy to manage chunks.There are exam style questions to assist with practicing & a QR code to scan where you can find the answers, plus glossaries & extra info online.Worthwhile book for any student taking the Edexcel exam.

This has been very helpful to revise for maths, we didn't really doubt that because it's Oxford we're talking about here. It contains everything you need to revise for edexcel maths. Would recommend.
