GCSE Maths Compare Questions
Compare questions ask students to look at similarities and differences. They are common in statistics, graphs, percentages and ratio questions.
What To Include
- Use values from the question.
- Compare like with like.
- Mention both items being compared.
- Use clear language such as greater, smaller or more consistent.
Exam tip: A good comparison usually mentions both quantities, not just one.
Common mistake: Students sometimes describe one data set but forget to compare it with the other.
