In the Maths Exam

Use a highlighter to identify key words and

numbers in the question but don’t use highlighters

in your final answer.

Show all your working and make the final answer

clear.

Give your answer to the right number of decimal

places or significant figures.

Graphs

Draw clear lines on

graphs with a sharp

pencil when reading off

values to show the

examiner what you

have used.

Put extra values on the

scales to help.

Maths - the basics….

– Pythagoras

– SOHCAHTOA

– Exact values for sin, cos and tan of 30o, 60o, 45o

– Angle rules

– Circle theorems

– Volume of prism, cylinder, pyramid

• Formulae for volume and surface area of a sphere and cone will be given

• Presentation– Dark black pen as papers are scanned in

– Straight lines for linear graphs and lines of best fit

– Smooth curves for other graphs and cumulative frequency

– Show solutions and stages of working carefully

– Practise checking answers (substitute solutions back into equations to check for errors)

– Cover up a line at a time and work through again

Maths - Every Mark Counts

• Lay out your work logically and clearly.

• Don’t cross out your attempts until you have a better attempt.
