Start here: how to use the worksheets

  1. Choose your class / year. Pick the year you are studying, then choose the key stage or GCSE tier. For GCSE, use the Foundation or Higher tier advised by your school or tutor.
  2. Choose a topic. Select the skill you want to practise.
  3. Choose your difficulty. For standard Years 7–11 worksheets, use the Difficulty / level menu below. Start with Level 1 if the topic is new, then move up when you can work confidently and explain your methods.
  4. Download and try the questions. Select the worksheet button, save or print the PDF, and show your working. Use Answers ↓ afterwards to check and correct your work.
Level 1 · Easy

Build the basics and practise core methods.

Level 2 · Developing

Apply the methods with more steps and variety.

Level 3 · Challenging

Solve multi-step questions and connect ideas.

Level 4 · Stretch

Tackle deeper reasoning and demanding problems.

Primary Years 3–6: use Practice Sheets 01–10, rather than Levels 1–4. Sheets 01–03 focus on core practice, 04–07 on application, and 08–10 on further challenge; demand varies by topic.

More practice: Levels 3 and 4 include extra Practice Sheets 01–10 where available. The separate Higher · Grade 9 challenges tier for Years 10–11 has two demanding questions per topic.

Levels 1–4 describe worksheet difficulty; they are not GCSE grades. If a sheet is too difficult, revisit an earlier level and ask for help.

New: GCSE mock exam papers

Choose full Foundation or Higher mocks, or focused Higher Grade 7–9 challenge papers. Every collection has 10 sets, with two non-calculator papers and one calculator paper per set, plus matching worked answers.

About Babu Master

A Lifetime of Teaching, A Heart for Every Child

My journey as a maths tutor began around 1989, while I was studying at university. What started then has remained a much-loved part of my life. More than three decades later, I am still teaching, and I still find joy in helping a child understand something they once thought was beyond their reach.

There is a special moment in teaching when uncertainty turns into understanding. A student who quietly says, “I can’t do this,” begins to say, “Let me try.” That small change means so much to me. Behind it is growing confidence, courage and a willingness to keep going.

Every child learns differently. Some need a little more time, some need a different explanation, and some simply need someone to believe in them while they learn to believe in themselves. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A mistake should be the beginning of a conversation, never a reason for a child to feel ashamed.

Good examination results matter, and I work with my students to help them achieve their potential. But my hopes for them reach beyond a grade on a certificate. I want them to develop patience, independence and the confidence to face challenges—in their studies and in their lives.

I also care deeply about the people they are becoming. Through teaching, I hope to encourage kindness, honesty, respect and consideration for others. Learning to listen, asking for help politely, taking responsibility and supporting someone who is struggling are small habits that help children grow into thoughtful members of society.

For me, teaching is a privilege. Parents place their trust in me, and children allow me to be part of their journey. I take that responsibility to heart. Each lesson is an opportunity to help a young person feel more capable, more valued and more hopeful about their future.

Maths Academy is built on that belief: every child deserves encouragement, patient guidance and the chance to grow.

After all these years, my love for teaching remains. If I can help a child understand maths, believe in themselves and become a kind, responsible person, then I feel I have made a contribution that truly matters.
