Use your GCSE Maths formula sheet before November

The sheet gives you formulae. Practise choosing the right one, substituting the values and checking the units.

The official 2026 sheets

Practice shown here: Pearson Edexcel 1MA1

  • The official 2026 sheet, Foundation: on the Pearson Edexcel website
  • The official 2026 sheet, Higher: on the Pearson Edexcel website

A copy is printed inside each question paper. AQA or OCR? Use your own board's sheet.

Five formula questions

Five questions, each using a formula printed on the Foundation sheet. Pick the formula, substitute, and give the units.

Given or learn it?

  • Trapezium area=12(a+b)h\text{Trapezium area} = \tfrac{1}{2}(a + b)h
  • Circle area=πr2\text{Circle area} = \pi r^2
  • Compound interest: P(1+r100)n\text{Compound interest: } P\left(1 + \tfrac{r}{100}\right)^n
  • x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
  • asin⁡A=bsin⁡B=csin⁡C\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}
  • Sphere volume=43πr3\text{Sphere volume} = \tfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3
  • Cone volume=13πr2h\text{Cone volume} = \tfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h
  • Gradient=change in ychange in x\text{Gradient} = \dfrac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x}
  • Speed=distancetime\text{Speed} = \dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}
  • Sector area=θ360×πr2\text{Sector area} = \tfrac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2

Put the formulae to work

Which tier will you sit?

Not sure? Your teacher decides the tier. Higher or Foundation? helps with that conversation.
