BBC Bitesize is the free way to meet a new KS3 or GCSE maths topic. Maths Angel diagnoses the slip in your child’s own working, then gives the short lesson and practice that put it right.
Maths Angel starts from what your child actually wrote. When they write x² + 9 for (x + 3)², ChatCat tells them they lost the middle term, 6x, then plays the lesson on expanding brackets.
That lesson is a short video too: 3–4 animated minutes, with practice to check the fix stuck. A map of 500+ connected skills picks it, teaches the earlier skill first, and logs each repair on their skills profile.
The BBC’s study site. For nearly every KS3 and GCSE maths topic it gives your child a guide, a short video and a quiz, sorted by exam board. However, its “Show answer” reveals one fixed worked solution, whatever your child wrote.

Bitesize introduces a topic. Maths Angel fixes the one that keeps going wrong. ChatCat names the exact slip in the working, finds the earlier skill on the map, and teaches it with animated, expert-crafted lessons. That is depth a general revision site can’t reach.
