Making foundation tier flashcards from your own material

Foundation tier papers reward steady recall of formulas, definitions and methods, so GCSE foundation flashcards work best when they come from the topics your teacher actually covers. DeckOwl reads your class notes, slides or past paper PDF and proposes cards you can edit before you study.

Cards written from your own revision material rather than a generic list
Spaced repetition so weaker topics come back more often
Photos of textbook pages are read with text recognition
Free plan includes 5 generations a week with browser study

Example GCSE foundation maths flashcards

What is the formula for the area of a trapezium?½ × (a + b) × h, where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular height.

What does Pythagoras' theorem state for a right-angled triangle?a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle.

What is the formula for percentage change?(new value − original value) ÷ original value × 100.

What is the reciprocal of 3/4?4/3, found by swapping the numerator and denominator, since 3/4 × 4/3 = 1.

In y = mx + c, what does c represent?The y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Any source

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages, and the text is read for you.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at the right time, so you review what you are about to forget.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for printing or moving your cards into other apps.

How it works

Add your material

Upload class notes, revision slides, a past paper PDF or a photo of a textbook page.

Check the cards

Review the flashcards the AI makes and edit any that are unclear or too long.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in your browser and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you find hardest.

Build the deck one topic at a time. Short cards that test a single fact or method are easier to review than long ones, and you can add a new card whenever you get a question wrong in practice.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for GCSE foundation maths?

Work through one topic at a time and make cards that each test a single formula, definition or method. Add a new card whenever you get a practice question wrong, so the deck reflects your real gaps.

Should I use foundation or higher tier flashcards?

Foundation tier covers grades 1 to 5, while higher tier covers grades 4 to 9, so check the specification for your exam board and make sure each card matches a topic on it. If your entry is foundation, cards on higher-only content will waste revision time.

Can I export my GCSE flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but export is a paid feature. Anki and CSV export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month, while the free plan lets you study in the browser.

Is there a free plan for students?

Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and browser study, and students with a school email get 40% off Plus. No credit card is needed to start.
