GCSE Bearings revision- Foundation/Higher

There are three important rules to remember when faced with a bearing problem:

1. Always start from north 
2. Always turn clockwise 
3. Write as 3-digits. e.g 035

Bearing problems are often worded: Find the bearing of B from A. This means you need to put your protractor on A and then measure the bearing to B, with zero facing north, going clockwise around your protractor and writing as three digits. 

Here is a video from corbett maths and some practise questions to have a go at.

Changing the subject: Foundation and Higher

Make x the subject means rearrange the formula to make it  x= . It is important to take it step by step to make sure you done make any mistakes!

 Higher:

On higher, when you change the subject and you have x on both sides, you need to rearrange to get x on both sides first, the once you have x on the same side you need to factorise then divide. 

 

Here are some higher questions which can be found on our instagram account.
