It details three 80-mark papers at either Higher or Foundation tier, with each paper lasting 90 minutes and combining non-calculator and calculator requirements across Papers 1–3. The curriculum covers core strands including Number, Algebra, Ratio, Geometry and Measures, Probability, and Statistics, with progression through tier-dependent topics. Foundation and Higher grade ranges are specified, supported by course assessments that determine tier entry.","CORE SUBJECTS: GCSE Maths  \n HEAD OF DEPARTMENT  \nMiss L Yooyai  \n EXAM BOARD  \nEdexcel  \n BREAKDOWN OF MARKS  \n3 papers at either Higher or Foundation Tier Paper 1-Non-Calculator 80 marks 33.3% Paper 2-Calculator 80 marks 33.3%  \nPaper 3-Calculator 80 marks 33.3% Each paper is 90 minutes.  \n SKILLS  \nDevelop fluent knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts.  \nAcquire, select and apply mathematical techniques to solve problems.  \nReason mathematically, make deductions and inferences, and draw conclusions. Comprehend, interpret and communicate mathematical information in a variety of forms appropriate to the information and context.  \n VITAL INFORMATION  \nTwo tiers are available: Foundation and Higher  \nFoundation tier: grades 1 to 5.  \nHigher tier: grades 4 to 9 (grade 3 is allowed).  \nAssessments throughout the course will determine your final tier of entry.  \n CURRICULUM CONTENT  \nThe GCSE Mathematics curriculum will cover the following strands-Number, Algebra, Ratio, proportion and rates of change, Geometry and measures, Probability and Statistics. The topics mentioned below are covered in either Higher or Foundation tier. Some topics will be covered in both tiers.  \nNumber-structure and calculation, fractions, decimals and percentages, measures and accuracy.  \nAlgebra-notation, vocabulary and manipulation, graphs, solving equations and inequalities and sequences.  \nRatio, proportion and rates of change - compound units, scale factors, ratio into real contexts, financial mathematics, direct and inverse proportion, growth and decay problems.  \nGeometry and measures-properties and constructions, mensuration and calculation, vectors.  \nProbability - frequency of outcomes, frequency trees, expected outcomes, relative expected frequencies, theoretical probability, mutually exclusive events, Venn diagrams, independent and dependent combined events.  \nStatistics-sampling, interpret and construct tables, charts and diagrams, compare the distributions of data sets, continuous and grouped data, interpret scatter graphs.  \n CURRICULUM& CAREER PROGRESSION  \nNEXT STEPS  \nA-Level  \nMathematics, Further Mathematics, Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Geography, Psychology, Physical Education and Business Studies.  \nBTEC /Level 3  \nCore Mathematics, Engineering, Applied Science, Business Studies and Sport.  \nCAREERS  \nMathematician Automotive Design Aeronautical Engineering Mechanical Engineering  \nMotor Sports Stock Broker Doctor  \nSurgeon Information Technology Economist","cbCaisGcyWG49XME","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisGcyWG49XME","pdf",43028,1,"English","en",105,"# Exam Board and Overview\n## Papers and Marks\n## Skills Assessed\n# Tier Information\n## Foundation Tier Grades\n## Higher Tier Grades\n## Tier Entry Assessment\n# Curriculum Content\n## Number\n## Algebra\n## Ratio, Proportion and Rates of Change\n## Geometry and Measures\n## Probability\n## Statistics\n# Curriculum and Career Progression\n## Next Steps\n## Careers","[{\"question\":\"How many papers are in the GCSE Mathematics exam and what are the paper requirements?\",\"answer\":\"The exam consists of 3 papers at either Higher or Foundation tier.
