How we teach H245
Each topic starts from the idea, then worked examples written step by step, then questions in the style of OCR A Level Further Mathematics A.
We teach the exact methods the mark scheme rewards and show where method marks are earned even when the final answer slips.
Timed practice on both calculator and non-calculator style papers, so speed and accuracy improve together.
Where students usually lose marks
- Algebraic manipulation and rearranging
