GCSE Maths Category
Study GCSE Maths geometry and measures topics including angles, shapes, polygons, circle theorems, Pythagoras, trigonometry, transformations, vectors, area, surface area and volume.
Geometry and measures focus on shapes, space, angles, position and measurement.
This area of GCSE Maths combines visual understanding with calculation, reasoning and problem solving.
Learn angle facts, angle rules and how to calculate missing angles.
Study the properties of common 2D shapes including triangles and quadrilaterals.
Explore the angle rules and properties of polygons, including interior and exterior angles.
Compare shapes using congruence, similarity and scale factor ideas.
Apply the key theorems used to solve angle problems in circles.
Use Pythagoras’ theorem to find missing sides in right-angled triangles.
Use sine, cosine and tangent to find missing sides and angles in right-angled triangles.
Plot points, read coordinates and use grids accurately in geometry and algebra.
Describe and apply translations, reflections, rotations and enlargements.
Understand vectors as directed line segments and use them in geometric reasoning.
Recognise 3D solids and match them to their nets and properties.
Calculate perimeter and area for common 2D shapes and compound shapes.
Calculate the total area covering the outside of 3D shapes.
Find the amount of space inside prisms, cylinders and other 3D shapes.
Convert between metric and other units correctly in geometry and measure questions.
Measure and use bearings accurately from north in navigation-style questions.
