If you can add, subtract, multiply, divide and tell whether one number is bigger than another, you can do all the maths necessary for GCSE geography. For the skills you can’t do in your head, you can use a calculator.

GCSE specifications state that you should be able to carry out the following statistical skills, and understand what the data mean. In almost all cases, you will have been taught these skills in maths lessons, though maths and geography teachers sometimes teach the same skills in slightly different ways.
