96 Edexcel Geography Maths Skill Questions
Mark Scheme included
Sheet to mark which questions are on the AQA Specifications using the same file if you want to pick out some to use
AQA booklet - includes 3 questions per question type - designed for 1 I do/ we do, and 2 for the students to do - can be used as Do Nows, or short bursts of maths to familarise students. These are for my students who are worried when they see maths questions pop up on their weekly homework, and for GCSE students to get the smaller marks.
There is no AQA mark scheme for this (there is the Edexcel mark scheme). The main difference is the marking is the working out and final answer (2 mark questions) and the slight wording of word questions (such as describe the graph etc.).
