Years 10 & 11 Curriculum - Mathematics

SYLLABUS:  Mathematics J560                                     Exam Board OCR

All students will take a GCSE course in Mathematics during Years 10 and 11.

Content

The GCSE course aims to give students a sound and confident grasp of Mathematics.

Students will be required to demonstrate their knowledge, understanding and skills in the following assessment objectives:

• Number
• Algebra
• Ratio & Proportion
• Geometry
• Probability & Statistics

Students will study for a linear course in Mathematics. This will be assessed in a terminal examination, which will consist of three written papers each 1.5 hours long, in the summer of Year 11. Two of the papers will require the use of a calculator and the third will be non-calculator.

Students will be tested regularly during the GCSE course. Set changes may take place on the basis of these assessment results.

Students will be required to own a scientific calculator. We recommend the Casio fx-83GTX or fx-85GTX. These are available in the Student Resource Shop.
