I'm doing Nat 5 which is the Scottish equivalent of GCSE, more or less. He's just doing the application of mathematics (equivalent of foundation) that's why it's so easy. In normal maths we have all that too
@@user-iq1xj7gr1r exam is on the 3rd of may 😍😍 hope you've been studying over the holidays (i haven't)
@themixedmilkshake9223 same bro, and i am on higher its insane 😭
I had to do a foundation maths paper for gcse and the first question was genuinely "which of these numbers is an odd number?"
I have never been so insulted in my life
that’s why it’s foundation mate it’s for literal idiots
i swear a literal 8 year old could get 100% on these questions
I was on a study date once with someone retaking their gcse year, thinking it couldn't be that bad.
They were 16 and I had to explain odd numbers to them.
My brain did a mental kickflip when they responded "oh so like 16 then?"

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.

still easy as shit
This is the only revision I need before my maths gcse thanks George and James for being excellent tutors

this made me realise how much i love factorising idek why but those last questions where george gave up those were my favourites
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.
I was told toodo foundashon paper an I'm fin :))
Oh makes sense
Important to note that Foundation Papers have a capped grade. When I was taking them in 2009, that max you could get was a C, whereas the Higher paper had a minimum grade of D.
@@cptncutleg its different now I think. From memory from when I was told last year u can still get a U in higher but it is rly hard to fail that bad. Foundation is till capped at a 5 (C) tho
@@tommustoe2304 Oh, a U is definitely possible. If you scribble everywhere, write a fake name and rip the paper up, but even if you only get 10 or so marks and as long as you don't do all of that, you should manage a D at least.

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.
