Mathematics

Throughout King’s Ely, pupils learn Mathematics skills and acquire the courage and ability to solve problems.

 

The aim is to use and apply mathematics in everyday situations, solve problems that will test conceptual understanding, and encounter, consider and discuss alternative lines of argument.

The GCSE Maths course content is divided between:

  • Number
  • Algebra
  • Ratio, Proportion and Rates of Change
  • Geometry
  • Probability and Statistics

Within each topic area the skills required are:

  • Use calculators and computers efficiently.
  • Develop flexibility in computational methods.
  • Express relationships in real-life situations.
  • Model real situations algebraically.
  • Explore the geometry of graphic images.
  • Undertake purposeful enquiries based on the analysis of data.
  • Explore the principles that govern random events.
Assessments

The assessment is via three papers. Each lasts one and a half hours. Two papers allow the use of a calculator. The other is a non-calculator paper. The GCSE course does not allow a formula sheet in the examinations.

Set one will take an additional Further Maths qualification which is excellent preparation for pupils intending to take Maths A Level.
