Number ideas to bring forward
Final number revision works best when Year 10 exactness, bounds and form manipulation are still secure.
- Fractions, decimals and percentages: all operations.
- Upper and lower bounds.
- Surds, including simplifying and rationalising denominators.

Algebra ideas to bring forward
Year 11 algebra revision assumes learners can already access the heavier GCSE methods introduced during Year 10.
- Solve quadratics by factorising, formula and completing the square.
- Simultaneous equations, including one linear and one quadratic.
- Manipulate algebraic fractions.

Geometry ideas to bring forward
Year 11 mixed geometry questions become more strategic, so the stronger Year 10 trigonometry and vector work should stay visible.
- Trigonometry in right-angled triangles.
- Sine rule and cosine rule where appropriate.
- Vectors: addition, scalar multiplication and magnitude.

Data ideas to bring forward
Final statistics revision builds on the formal diagrams and linked-event reasoning first consolidated in Year 10.
- Histograms, box plots and cumulative frequency curves.
- Venn diagrams, tree diagrams and conditional probability.
- Sampling, hypotheses and data investigation.
