There is now a Further Maths Calculated Colouring for 2025 too. This does contain some Year 2 topics. I teach the AQA spec and this is predominantly designed for my classes, so for instance some of the hyperbolics questions may not be suitable for Year 12 Further Mathematicians if they are studying the Edexcel spec either.

This is the page where I will be posting my various revision for 2025 Post 16 maths exam resources including practice papers, revision topic sheets etc.
Further Maths AS Daily Question Sheets
These sheets have two questions per day Monday – Friday. The first 7 contain topics from the AQA Further Maths AS pure content.
The aim is that these questions can provide a quick revision of a mixed range of skills.
A-Level Revision Sheets
Each sheet is on a particular topic (Sheets 1-8 are mainly Year 12 topics) and includes some examples with a QR code linking to a video on Youtube. Solutions aren’t available yet, but likely will be over May half term.
Sheets with 6 integration questions. Designed to be done in less than 20 minutes so can be used for quick revision. Some are themed and some are mixed technique sheets.
I have always enjoyed using Revision Clock activities since being introduced to them by Jo Morgan a very long time ago. Students tend to enjoy them, even if the questions can be a little hard to complete within 60 minutes they always want to try.

I haven’t got any students sitting this qualification this year as I have moved to a post 16 institution but I had some requests for a Paper 2 Warmup grid so here it is. Thanks to Mr Bansal for sending me a copy of the questions in Paper 1.
Apologies that this is later than usual. I hope things are still useful. Feel free to share links with your students.
Practice Exam Papers
These papers are intended as practice papers. They are not “predicted” papers as I have no prior knowledge of the topics and question styles that will come up on the papers. Once Paper 1 has happened for a course I will make some reasonable assumptions on topics that may not be assessed again, or those that will be assessed; however there is no guarantee that this is the case. Apologies in advance for any mistakes in the solutions.
These are intended to be used in a 45 minute / 1 hour session before the exam. They should contain relatively straightforward questions and checks of knowledge to boost confidence going into the exam.
As always apologies that this is later than I had originally planned. A combination of school work and feeling poorly meant I didn’t get it up on Monday as I had hoped. Sorry.
The keen eyed amongst you will probably spot that I have recycled an image I originally used in a further maths calculated colouring in 2019. I like this picture which was drawn by my cousin.
Hope your students enjoy it this year. I’d love to see comments and images on Twitter (I suppose I should call it X now) – tag me at @DrBennison-.
I will be adding to this post as and when I post resources so please keep checking back.
The plan is for there to be one set (at least – If I have a chance I may do more) of practice papers for AQA A-Level Maths, AQA A-Level Further Maths and AQA Level 2 Further Maths. I am also intending on producing some 15 minute boost worksheets and exam warmup grids for these exams.
Solutions will generally go up a few days after the papers.

Short worksheets containing 5 knowledge recall questions, 1 short form question and one longer form question. The intention is that these take around 15 minutes to complete.

In case you can’t manage without a bit of maths you may like to try my Christmas Day task for this year. I like to set a task in Christmas Day for my classes with a prize for the first to submit a solution.
My A-Level Christmas Calculated Colouring is now available (downloadable since the evening of the 12/12/22) – I am checking questions for any errors on the 13th so if you can avoid downloading till then you should!).
On this page I am going to gradually share the revision resources I have produce that target the advanced information for 2022. Of course they should be useful in later years too.
Many of you know that I had COVID earlier in the year and seem to have been strangely affected by it in terms of just how tired I am once I get in from school – consequently these are later than I had hoped, I’m sorry. I will add to this page as I publish resources and tweet when I do. The plan is a set of “practice” papers for AQA A-Level Maths and AQA A-Level Further Maths, a paper for OCR FSMQ and then some “Exam warmup” grids for use before the exams.
I am one of the Work Group Leads (along with the great Vanessa Roper) for a new Research and Innovation Workgroup from the East Midlands West MathsHub. We are going to be looking any ways to improve students’ transition from GCSE to A-Level mathematics. There are some more details of this Work Group here: http://emwest.co.uk/gcse-to-a-level-transition-work-group/
As we want the work to be research informed, both from published sources and mini action research I am asking for your help…. We have two surveys – one teacher focussed and one student focussed. Please could you spare a few minutes to complete the teacher one and send the link to the student one to your students and encourage them to complete it.
