Edexcel GCSE MATHEMATICS (9-1) Post 16 Launch Event




» Fifth level

Agenda

• GCSE reforms and new requirements • Our approach and our new qualification • Support and resources • Next steps




» Fifth level

GCSE Maths reforms • Coverage of broader and deeper mathematical

content, delivered through a single extended GCSE

• Higher tier will include questions that will stretch the most able

• Foundation tier will focus on core mathematical understanding and skills for all students to master

• A greater focus on problem-solving

• Additional requirements to provide clear mathematical arguments

• More formulae to memorize




» Fifth level

9-1 New Grading

• Broadly the same proportion of students will achieve a grade 4 and above as currently achieve a grade C and above.

• Broadly the same proportion of students will achieve a grade 7 and above as currently achieve an A and above.

• The bottom of grade 1 will be aligned with the bottom of grade G.




» Fifth level

Content Requirements • Content taken from the Department for Education’s

Mathematics GCSE subject content and assessment objectives document, published in November 2013.

• Content is indicated that is for all students (standard font), for more advanced content for all students (underlined font) and for Higher tier only (bold font).

• Six content areas: F H

• Number 25% 15% • Algebra 20% 30% • Ratio, proportion, rates of change 25% 20% • Geometry 15% 20% • Probability & • Statistics 15% 15%




» Fifth level

New Content

• New to Foundation tier: • use of pi and surds • reverse percentages • factorising quadratics • basic trigonometry • circle properties • vectors • Venn and tree diagrams

• New to Higher tier: • gradient at a point on a curve as rate of change • areas under graphs • Venn diagrams (conditional probability)

• standard form • compound interest • simultaneous equations • direct and inverse proportion • fractional scale enlargements • conditional probabilities • frequency trees

• functions • geometric progressions • frequency trees




» Fifth level

Formulae to remember Foundation tier:

• Area of a trapezium

• Volume of a prism

Higher tier:

• Area of a trapezium

• Volume of a prism

• The quadratic formula

• Sine and cosine rules

• Area of a triangle = ½ab sin C




» Fifth level

New assessment objectives • AO1: Use and apply standard techniques

(50% Foundation, 40% Higher)

• AO2: Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically (25% Foundation, 30% Higher)

• AO3: Solve problems within mathematics and other context (25% Foundation, 30% Higher)

• More emphasis on problem-solving, communication, proof, interpretation

• QWC and Functional Maths no longer explicitly required

Changes to assessment: grading

Foundation Tier Foundation papers now start at, and reach, a higher level.

The marks on current Foundation papers are allocated like this:

In the new Foundation papers marks will be allocated like this:

50% 25% 25% Targeted at F/G Targeted at E Targeted at D/C

50% 1 2 lower 3

50% Upper 3 4 5

Approximately equivalent to: Approximately equivalent to:

G/F E D D+ C C/B

Bottom two thirds of C marks Top third of C

marks/bottom third of B marks

Bottom of 1 aligned with bottom of G




» Fifth level

Changes to assessment: grading Higher Tier Higher papers now start at a higher level than the current GCSE, which starts at a grade D. The new higher tier will cover 6 grades instead of 5, allowing for more differentiation at the top end of the grades. Previously 25% of questions were targeted at A/A*, but now 50% of questions in each paper are targeted at the equivalent grades 7-9.

In the new Higher papers marks will be allocated like this:

50% 4 5 6

50% 7 8 9

Approximately equivalent to: Approximately equivalent to:

C C/B B A A/A* A/A*

Top third of C marks/bottom third of B marks

Bottom two thirds of C marks

Top two thirds of B marks

Top 20% of A/A* marks




» Fifth level

Our Approach • Papers that gradually build in demand/challenge

• Ensured greater clarity of language and improved readability of our papers

• Ensured the Foundation tier papers include questions targeting the lowest grades

• Ensured that the earlier questions in the papers are designed to help students approach the exams with confidence

• Removed formulae sheets – formulae will be provided in the relevant questions

• Reduced the number of high tariff questions – mainly at Foundation tier




» Fifth level

Assessment structure

Foundation tier

•Grades 1-5

•Standard & underlined content

•Half marks on each paper targeting grades 1-3 (lower part) and other half at 3 (upper part) - 5

Paper 1 33.3%

Paper 2 33.3%

Paper 3 33.3%

Non-calculator Calculator Calculator 80 marks 80 marks 80 marks

1 hr 30 mins 1 hr 30 mins 1 hr 30 mins

All papers may assess any content domains and all assessment objectives in roughly same proportions across all three papers

Higher tier

•Grades 4-9 (allowable grade 3)

•Standard, underlined and bold content

•Half marks on each paper targeting grades 4-6 and other half at 7-9

Discussion-Issues Post 16 • How to manage GCSE in 1 year course

• Students on resit tend to be weaker and lack motivation

• Sept 2016 cohort will have sat current GCSE and will only have one resit opportunity on that spec ( nov 2016) if they don't achieve a C in that window they will have to sit the new spec in summer 2017. This means teaching them new content that they will have not been taught before

• Staff recruitment and staff training

• Resources- new content will require new resources

• Maths now got 3 papers rather than 2 with longer assessment time so need to look at resilience of students

• Changes to tiering for maths foundation now stretches to equivalent of grade B

• Shift in content from Higher to Foundation tier

• Preparing students for three assessments – (now 3 examinations)
