Study and were preparing for the then new Mathematics GCSE (8300) . The resources are still very useful for students in KS3-KS4 . KS3-4 Bridging the gap.  \nKey stage 3 tests  \nThis series of termly tests covers Years 7, 8 and 9 and can be used to check understanding as well as showing younger students what GCSE papers look and feel like. Extension tests are included and analysers are available for all tests.  \nAQA Key Stage 3 tests for Years 7, 8 and 9.  \n90 maths problem solving questions  \nThis supports the problem solving requirement (AO3) of GCSE Mathematics. Very useful summary lists link questions to process skills and to content areas.

Learners can use the Maths Map to help find topics.  \n[www.transum.org](www.transum.org)  \nBuilding blocks resources  \nThese resources start with basic questions and progress to more challenging GCSE type questions. This example on functions goes from simple function machines through to composite functions.
