Maths KS4 | Years 10 & 11

Examination Board | Edexcel

Specification Code | 1MA Foundation or Higher

Subject Content

Year 10

In Year 10, the students start with Units in either Foundation or Higher GCSE. This builds upon the core programmes from Years 7, 8 and 9 and this will allow students to develop a depth of understanding. Students in the higher sets will also study for a GCSE in Statistics taken at the end of the year. The students will, as previously, be tested after each unit.

A revision guide and workbook accompanies the course and is the key resource for improving at home. Students are encouraged to use this to follow up the knowledge and content taught in lessons and to use the workbook for practice outside of lesson time. Mymaths can and will be used to supplement the teaching of the course.

Year 11

The content is split between further units or content and consolidated units from previous years. The students need to prepare for their mock exams in October and February, as this will give them an accurate indication of their final grade. The emphasis should be on improving their raw score on their 3 papers. The workbook and revision guide used in Year 10 will continue to be used to supplement the knowledge and content taught in lessons.
