Dear Students

     For your GCSE mathematics exam, you will have to remember lots of
     formulae. You will have covered these in class and will have used them

                               GCSE 2018/2019
     over and over again to solve problems.

     Make sure you have learnt these all thoroughly as you will need the
     correct formulae in order to answer the questions fully.

                              GRADING CRITERIA
     Here you will find a list of the ones you need for the foundation papers
     and the higher papers. Any that are not listed will be given to you in
     the exam next to the question.

     Good luck and all the very best

     From the maths team.
