FYI for the people confused, there is a foundation tier GCSE paper which they are doing in the video. It is bascically done by students who are weak in maths and want to get good grades. The students are selected by the school. Also, the actual GCSE paper is honestly not this easy.

Yeah but you have a chance to get higher than a C. If you did this paper, yeah you'd probably ace it, but you'd only ever be able to get a C, even if you studied really hard and learned all the difficult stuff. I'm pretty sure employers/colleges/unis are also biased against the foundation tier.
It’s great to see that George’s development is coming along so well. He’s thriving especially considering his circumstances. In fact I think he could pass as developmentally on-track in the right scenarios x
hey diddle diddle , The median is the middle, You add and divide the mean, The mode is the one that appears the most, And the range is the difference between.
The stupid part is that it's actually or was actually depending on how the tests have changed since 2012 easier to get a C on a higher paper than a Foundation paper even if you were thick because most higher papers questionswerethe same as lowers to an extent usually changing after totaling enough points to for a C, this is how I managed to sleep thought all my tests and pass 36points was a sweet C!
The last one that they were struggling with is the easy stuff I do at school. At least I know for sure that I’ll forget everything from school in like 10 years so it won’t matter.

If only my GCSEs had been this easy 😭
Why does this paper look like something I would have done in year 7-
Probably because it is. I’m in the 7th grade and I learnt some of these topics in the 4th grade.
man said year seven 80% of dis from year 6 rah
Yeah I was about to say this is nothing compared to the shitstorm of difficulty thats the higher maths paper
Foundation papers be like
“Wrote the number 2714” is well before year 7 😆
As a year 11 student this is so funny to me, coz I can see where I'll be in 10 years even though the idea of getting these questions wrong now seems so weird
I left in may, and forgotten literally everything in math
@@Ben-lu7kn same 😂
what grade did you get
@@paulo6 I got a 9
@@rebeccaharrisson5532 if you don't mind me asking, was the only way you revised doing a bunch of test papers/maths questions for maths?
they need to add up how many marks they got and let us know if they passed GCSE maths
Tbh if they didn’t go back and change their answers when one got it wrong , I don’t think they would of passed
James is so supportive and talks him calmly through the steps, better than some of my teachers hahaha

As a student this is the easiest paper I've ever seen. I swear schools just make it harder each year. In 40 years they will be teaching quantum mechanics
girl they already do that at year 10 here-

its like when you finish a mock and the teacher has to go through the paper with the class
This is the only revision I need before my maths gcse thanks George and James for being excellent tutors
I’m taking foundation and this feels more like a yr 4 exam rather than GCSE level
Same like damm I am a genius if this is the GCSEs nowadays
It’s bc it’s an old past paper
as a 11th grader this hurt me that george took this as a year 10.... this is some shit they’d give me in like 7th grade
for the record gcses r much harder now in this is a foundation paper which only goes up to a C and is easy af
@@liamiddleton6054 no shit but as this was 10 years ago the curriculum for foundation and higher is much harder
11th grade is As levels
@@moonlightbae_ foundation papers are still this easy i think - its just that if you want to get more than a 5 ( equivalent of a C) you have to take the higher paper
@@erin7800 yeah I looked at one just now for the new gcse and the difficulty is basically the same

Me, a year 9 student, watching two 20 year olds figure out how to factorise: 😃
To be fair, I can't remember how to factorise and I was pretty good with Maths in school. That's what happens when you don't use the skill for 15+ years.
it literally leaves your brain as soon as you get your results
ikr also i just got 93% in my math finals of grade 9
Same. I feel so smart
Me a 17 year old freshman uni student that still doesn't know how they work:
Opposite angles are equal ❌
“Just is” ✅
I thought they were alternate angles 💀💀🤡

Nah lol yr 11 bout to cry in a corner :)
year 13 here to tell you that ur gcses will go great! as long as u get the grades u need to do what u wanna do next year then it’s all good :)
Me who was meant to sit my GCSEs but couldn’t with the lockdown just sitting here and realising I’ve forgotten five years of schooling in a year
@Bradient S yh theyre cancelled but you just do an internal exam in school anyway which will be the main factor in determining your grade. so basically they are officially cancelled but not really
Teachers in the 2000s "you can't use a calculator because when your older you won't be carrying a calculator everywhere you go" now, we litteraly carry a calculator everywhere we go on our smart phones. 😂
the different between foundation maths in 2010 vs now is shockinh

It's not entirely different. Hell, for this year, certain topics have been removed.
@@cptncutleg honestly it is, foundation maths is easy but compared to this-
The fact I still failed this multiple times in school is extremely embarrassing hahaha
I feel this… I’m so glad I don’t have to do maths anymore 😅
maths was the worst subject for me lol
I’m resitting my maths tomorrow ffs 😂 this counts as revision
@@sirhoward. same lmfao defo failed again

I wanna see a part 2 where they do a higher paper, i think that'll be interesting
Underrated comment
Maybe a little bit of integration and derivatives
Max what about further maths then
Matrices I reckon
It will probably still be easy as this was 2010
9:08 mean is sharing, mean is sharing, mode is most, mode is most, median in the middle, median in the middle, range high low, range high low. To the tune of Frere Jaques 😂
who knew we needed a video of memeulous and james doing a gcse maths paper? tbh im not complaining lmao
i’m in year 11 and doing higher maths and i wish it was this easy 😭
Same
Yeah but you have a chance to get higher than a C. If you did this paper, yeah you'd probably ace it, but you'd only ever be able to get a C, even if you studied really hard and learned all the difficult stuff. I'm pretty sure employers/colleges/unis are also biased against the foundation tier.

It’s great to see that George’s development is coming along so well. He’s thriving especially considering his circumstances. In fact I think he could pass as developmentally on-track in the right scenarios x
Did my a level maths exam today, revisiting this video to feel better abt myself
6:44 “I’m gonna take take a shot in the dark” 😂😭
“What is a mode?”
I’m shouting at the screen
hey diddle diddle ,
The median is the middle,
You add and divide the mean,
The mode is the one that appears the most,
And the range is the difference between.

“That’s the biggest 6 I’ve ever seen” - James speaking to George
as a student abt to do GCSE Higher Maths
Im seriously considering foundation rn
foundation gcse isn’t like this, this is year 7 work lol
this is easier than SAT. its harder now
I did the higher and somehow got a 6 and I thought I got a 4 so there is hope
The papers from 2010 before the GSCE revamp tho
This isnt how foundation looks anymore did this as a practice paper in yr 9
this gives me "dad quizzing his kid at the dinner table" vibes
"This is where they get you, this is the hard one" *shows a question on factorising - something that is really easy*
The stupid part is that it's actually or was actually depending on how the tests have changed since 2012 easier to get a C on a higher paper than a Foundation paper even if you were thick because most higher papers questionswerethe same as lowers to an extent usually changing after totaling enough points to for a C, this is how I managed to sleep thought all my tests and pass 36points was a sweet C!
I passed on higher with only 12 marks its easy to pass on higher I dont understand why everyone doesn't just do the exam
I was so convinced it was 13 sheep, looks like i'm not passing my higher tier paper
Omg they actually just did some damn homework for a video and James actually took it seriously
9:34
Largest number = 15
Smallest number = 4
range: 15 - 4 = 11
George: *the answer is 9*
Lovely to see a dad helping his son to revise 🤗
i love how james is on everyone’s second channel
I was hoping George and James would go through the mark scheme to see if they passed or not😂
Watch 2 fully grown adult men complete a GCSE foundation math paper
Oh no... Not these memories...
“I haven’t done Maths for 7 years” makes me feel VERY old. 🤣
By watching this video i can tell James must've done the higher paper
Lol yeah
He went to UCL so I'd assume so
this is easier than the homework I got set in year 7
You need to do a current gcse maths exam and see how you find that
Yes
Yeppp
they have to a higher one lol
Good luck to those who are counting this as revision for their GCSEs surely!
You guys should try a present day GCSE higher paper :')
Yes
This gives off extreme older sibling helping younger sibling with their homework
the fact they are doing the foundation tier makes it even better lmao
⛲ tier
ah yes f o u n t a i n 😩
F o u n t a i n t i e r
F O U N T A I N T I E R
No why did you edit it
The fact that I had to do a foundation paper is staggering, haven’t done maths in 3 years and I’m 99% sure I would of done better then I did
To be fair to you, the practice papers are usually easier than the actual exam
Foundation:how many fingers am I holding up (8)
Higher (36x +root 9 x root 8)36x
95y
Y+ x =
(2)
yeah they would really struggle with a higher paper
As a higher student can confirm lmao
as a higher student, that I can definitely confirm
as a higher student i had no idea that foundation was like this
as a higher student who hasnt done any mocks yet, oh no
I love james' chiming in and giving him the damn formulas.
So glad we could see jimbo tutoring the children in his neighborhood
The last one that they were struggling with is the easy stuff I do at school. At least I know for sure that I’ll forget everything from school in like 10 years so it won’t matter.
Honestly you’ll forget everything once you close the exam paper
Exactly they're like the warm up questions now it's stupid
You'll forget things that aren't relevant to you. I remember fuck all from English but I'm still good at maths because I'm a games programming student
this is the first time ive actually looked at a maths test in at least four months
