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.

Higher GCSE: Circle Theorems

For your GCSE exam you will need to remember these circle theorems.

When answering circle theorem problems, it is extremely important to use the correct vocabulary. The examiners are looking for certain key words, for example circumference, center, cyclic quadratic etc. Using the vocabulary in the post above from Corbett maths is important. 

Here are some practice exam questions and answers to have a go at!

Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Get some practise in on finding perpendicular lines!

When it comes to perpendicular gradients, the key rule is that the gradients have a product of -1.

So, this means that if you know one gradient, the perpedicular gradient comes from changing the sign and inverting it - for example, a gradient of 2 is perpendicular to -1/2.

A couple more -

A gradient of -3 is perpendicular to a gradient of 1/3
A gradient of 2/3 is perpendicular to a gradient of -3/2

Still not sure? Take a look at this tutorial from Corbett Maths.
