Perhaps one of the most versatile areas of maths, it gives students the skills to collect, analyse, interpret and present data. It complements subjects such as GCSE Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business and Economics, and opens the door to a variety of careers – from weather forecasting to the biological sciences.  \nA specification designed for you and your students  \nThis new qualification retains much of the content that we know you and your students enjoy. Our new qualification is fully co-teachable alongside our GCSE Maths, helping you teach GCSE Statistics students in the same class. Topics are clearly and logically structured and include:  \n• understanding the importance of careful planning, a clear strategy for collecting, recording and processing data in order to address an identified question or hypothesis  \n• generating data visualisation and understanding the maths involved.  \nClear, well-structured exams, accessible for all  \nTo enable your students to show their breadth of knowledge and understanding, we’ve created a simple and straightforward structure and layout to our papers, using a mixture of question styles. There will be no coursework.  \nYou can find out about all our Statistics [qualifications at](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/mathematics)[ ](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/mathematics)[aqa.org.uk/mathematics](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/mathematics)  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.  \n1.2.1 Teaching resources  \n[Visit](Visit aqa.org.uk/8382 to see all)[ ](Visit aqa.org.uk/8382 to see all)[aqa.org.uk/8382](Visit aqa.org.uk/8382 to see all)[ to see all](Visit aqa.org.uk/8382 to see all) our teaching","cbCailGJ2L1q7bjC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailGJ2L1q7bjC","pdf",893530,44,"English","# 1 Introduction\n## 1.1 Why choose AQA for GCSE Statistics?\n## 1.2 Support and resources to help you teach\n# 2 Specification at a glance\n## 2.1 Subject content\n## 2.2 Assessments\n# 3 Subject content\n## 3.1 Section A\n## 3.2 Section B\n## 3.3 Section C\n## 3.4 Section D\n## 3.5 Section E\n## 3.6 Statistical Enquiry Cycle (SEC)\n# 4 Scheme of assessment\n## 4.1 Aims and learning outcomes\n## 4.2 Assessment objectives\n## 4.3 Assessment weightings\n# 5 General administration\n## 5.1 Entries and codes\n## 5.2 Overlaps with other qualifications\n## 5.3 Awarding grades and reporting results\n## 5.4 Resits and shelf life\n## 5.5 Previous learning and prerequisites\n## 5.6 Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion\n## 5.7 Working with AQA for the first time\n## 5.8 Private candidates\n## 5.9 Use of calculators","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of GCSE Statistics in this specification?\",\"answer\":\"The specification frames statistics as making decisions when there is uncertainty, building skills to collect, analyse, interpret, and present data.
