GCSE Maths Solver

Every GCSE Maths Topic Covered

Our AI solver has been trained on thousands of past GCSE maths papers from all major UK examination boards. Whether you are studying for AQA, Edexcel, OCR, or WJEC, our solver understands the specific question formats, mark allocation, and working out requirements that each board expects.

Number & Algebra

From basic arithmetic and fractions through to simultaneous equations, quadratic formulae, and algebraic proof. The solver shows every step of the working out, including the algebraic manipulation that examiners look for. It handles both foundation and higher tier questions, adjusting the level of working out to match the expected standard. For dedicated algebra support, see our algebra solver.

Geometry & Measures

Angles, area, volume, Pythagoras' theorem, trigonometry, circle theorems, vectors, and transformations. The solver recognises geometric diagrams from photos and applies the correct formulae with full working. It correctly identifies when to use sine rule versus cosine rule, and shows the substitution step that earns method marks even if the final answer is incorrect.

Statistics & Probability

Mean, median, mode, range, frequency tables, histograms, cumulative frequency, box plots, probability trees, and Venn diagrams. The solver handles data interpretation questions where you need to read values from graphs and charts, as well as calculation-based probability questions involving combined and conditional probability. See our statistics solver for dedicated statistical support.

Ratio, Proportion & Rates of Change

Ratio division, direct and inverse proportion, compound measures (speed, density, pressure), percentage change, and growth/decay problems. These topics frequently appear in the non-calculator paper and our solver shows the manual calculation steps clearly.

How It Works for GCSE Students

Simply photograph your GCSE maths question using your phone or laptop camera. Our AI reads the question, identifies the topic area, and generates a step-by-step solution that follows the mark scheme format used by UK examination boards. Each step is clearly labelled with M (method), A (accuracy), and B (independent) marks so you know exactly how marks are awarded.

This is particularly useful when revising with past papers. Instead of waiting for your teacher to mark your work, you get instant feedback on where you went wrong and what steps you missed. The solver also explains the mathematical reasoning behind each step, helping you understand the concept rather than just memorising the method.

Foundation vs Higher Tier

Our solver automatically detects whether a question is from the foundation or higher tier based on the topic and complexity. For foundation tier questions, it provides solutions using methods appropriate to that level, avoiding advanced techniques that would confuse a foundation student. For higher tier questions, it uses the full range of mathematical tools available, including surds, completing the square, and algebraic proof. This ensures you are learning the methods appropriate to your examination tier.

If you are preparing for A-Level maths, our solver also handles the full A-Level specification. Visit our A-Level maths solver page for details on pure mathematics, statistics, and mechanics support.
