Good GCSE maths revision apps?

10 replies

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest any good apps for gcse revision. DS is at about a level 4/5 and it is to try to practise and work out where to improve.

Motivation is really tricky, so I wondered about something that is a bit competitive or has a league table, or where you can play with friends or get a daily streak etc?

Or any other general tips on maths revision we can do over the course of the year or approaches that might help would also be gratefully received!

Not an app, but Corbett 5 a day is good corbettmaths.com/5-a-day/gcse/

I will have a look at that, thanks!

GCSEpod is good for sciences, history and maybe some more but it doesn't have much about Maths. How about getting workbooks for the tier he is at? Also Corbett suggested above is good.

Other free resources/booklets.

Pixie revision booklets:

Thanks, I will look into these @chocorabbit
I was just thinking an app as he is always messing with his phone, so it might seem like less of a chore or work to do some app on his phone, rather than sit down formally with booklets etc.
Going for a range of approaches!

If you don't mind paying a subscription, you could try Numerise. There's a two week free trial so you can see if it suits him, and what level and then he can choose from the various topics.

(i'm not sure if they have a separate app, but you can access the website on the phone regardless, and it has points to earn and so on, not sure about streaks, but it shows how much has been done, etc)

Hi all, happy Easter... did anyone else try any of these apps for GCSE maths revision? My DS is in desperate revision need given how little time is now left before the exams, but he needs more structure/ guidance than pixel or maths genie to keep him on track. I've seen Century, Complete Maths, Numberise, Udemy, Tasomai, etc, etc, but can't tell which are any good?? Thanks!
