litch the best channel for gcse maths thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@1stClassMaths]

Glad you think so!

[@Petitmousey]

thanks for informing me about the last theorem not being needed if you do AQA just saved me so much time

[@hellohowareyoutoday2784]

i love you

[@raaafn874]

such an amazing channel, never understood proof of circle theromes and was literally fully given up. but my teacher recommended your website and decided to give this video a try. best decision

[@1stClassMaths]

Welcome!

[@hellohowareyoutoday2784]

Hope ur exam goes well

[@sammya8355]

You may actually be the goat I watched this last night just as an afterthought and Im so glad I watched this video now as circle theorem proofs was the last question, again I can't thank you enough!

[@zowjc9ww]

do you do edexcel or aqa? i don't remember doing a circle theorums proof question and i do edexcel?

[@obinoscopekenobi9450]

@@zowjc9ww It was something about tangents I think

[@philkon2]

Best channel for gcse maths and further maths, thanks bro

[@hellohowareyoutoday2784]

[@chantommy2438]

Appreciate a lot ! Helpful

[@zowjc9ww]

This is so useful but what do we do if the question states not to use any circle theorums in our answer? Do we just do the same steps of working out but not give the reason why (as giving the reason why often involves stating a circle theorum usually) please let me know thanj you

omg, I wish I found this channel sooner!

thank you soo much, this vid was so helpful, but how would you recommend memorising this, so I can retrieve this information in the exam if it comes up, thanks so much for ur vids, literally saving my life in maths rn, tysm!

First, hello I like you vids a lot

[@nryanr5273]

do you think box plots will come up much in the 2024 exams?

[@sq_clutch]

Yes

[@jup52]

Thanks, I found your proofs very clear. A small help to remember, would be to include the name of the theorem written under the main heading?

[@xxn_hxx245]

would they combine circle theorems and ask you to prove it in that way or only single ones like in the video? Thank you!

[@1stClassMaths]

I'd expect just a single theorem.

[@salmannadeem2827]

Can you please do predicted papers for L2 further maths?

[@1stClassMaths]

Hi. I will write a paper 2 but not paper 1. Paper 1 is literally just a guess but once we have seen paper 1 we can have a good guess at the topics for paper 2.

[@salmannadeem2827]

@@1stClassMaths you can decide based on past years tho

[@1stClassMaths]

There is really no point I am afraid. It is completely unpredictable. Almost all topics could appear in either paper 1 or paper 2. I don't want to mislead people in thinking that anything I create is "predicted" when it isn't. I will write something for paper 2 but only once I have seen paper 1. This will help you focus on paper 2 topics.

[@user-ny4ho4ku1h]

If you have Trigonometry as well, can you also present it please.

[@1stClassMaths]

I have done trigonometry, check my playlists.

Got an exam tomorrow?

[@not.cookie.lol.]

bro pls make a lvl content next year 🙏🏾🔥

[@1stClassMaths]

I will try

[@MrCrytpic]

Are these all the circle theorems for Edexcel?

[@1stClassMaths]

Technically there is also the radius bisecting a chord at 90°. You can find this theorem in my circle theorem proofs video though. It is seemingly almost never assessed though. I don't actually recall any exam questions using it at all on this specification. You are expected to know it though but it's quite simple.

[@MilanPujara-ed7ud]

Could this turn up on OCR GCSE Maths?

[@1stClassMaths]

Yes it could.

[@Puppyslush]

Would u have to memorise this

[@1stClassMaths]

Yes or be able to work it out again yourself. This topic doesn’t seem to come up too often though.

[@seno601]

the last proof, is it meant for ocr?

[@hamzasherasmat6593]

I thought there were 8 circle theorems

[@peteypops]

Minor, major angles….why not acute and obtuse angles?….sorry, old GCE student here.

[@1stClassMaths]

Either is fine really.
