It encourages learners to develop confidence in, and a positive attitude towards, mathematics and to recognise the importance of mathematics in their own lives and to society. It also provides a strong mathematical foundation for learners who go on to study mathematics at a higher level post-16.  \nThis specification enables learners to:  \n􀁸 develop fluent knowledge, skills and understanding of mathematical methods and concepts  \n􀁸 acquire, select and apply mathematical techniques to solve problems  \n􀁸 reason mathematically, make deductions and inferences and draw conclusions  \n􀁸 comprehend, interpret and communicate mathematical information in a variety of forms appropriate to the information and context.  \nThe WJEC Eduqas GCSE in Mathematics places problem solving at the heart of mathematics learning , which helps learners tackle everyday mathematical problems whilst studying and after obtaining the qualification.  \nIt encourages the teaching of links between different areas of the curriculum by targeting questions that cover the content from different subject areas within mathematics.  \nThis specification is intended to promote a variety of styles of teaching and learning so that the courses are enjoyable for all participants. It will enable learners to progress to higher-level courses of mathematical studies. Following this linear course, learners could benefit from having a greater understanding of the links between subject areas, in particular graphical and algebraic representation, which are prevalent throughout A level mathematics.  \nThere are no previous learning requirements for this specification. Any requirements set for entry to a course based on this specification are at the school/college’s discretion.  \nThis specification builds on subject content which is typically taught at Key Stage 3 and provides a suitable foundation for the study of mathematics at either AS or A level.
