We have made changes that will engage students and give them skills that will support progression to further study in mathematics and a range of other subjects. Our content and assessment approach to lower secondary mathematics has been developed alongside lower secondary English and, in particular, lower secondary science, to ensure a consistent approach across the whole Pearson Edexcel iLowerSecondary programme.  \nThe content and assessment approach for lower secondary mathematics has been designed to meet students’ needs in the following ways.  \n● Content is interesting and engaging for students but is also designed to ensure good preparation for further study of the Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics qualification (Specification A) (9–1) .  \n● Achievement tests are clear and straightforward – they are clear and accessible for all students of all ability ranges and learning styles. Our mark schemes are straightforward, so that the assessment requirements are clear.  \n● Problem-solving skills are broadly developed – the skills developed will be assessed through questions in written examinations, which develops students’ problem-solving skills by translating problems in mathematical or non-mathematical contexts.  \nProgression to International GCSE  \nThe Pearson iLowerSecondary programme provides the ideal preparation for progression to the Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics qualification (Specification A) (9–1) .  \nThrough our World Class ","cbCaidjAz4dnhiAx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidjAz4dnhiAx","pdf",560291,46,"English","# Contents\n## 1 Introduction\n## Why choose the Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Mathematics?\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n## Qualification at a glance\n## 2 Subject content and assessment information\n## Content\n## Assessment Objectives\n## 3 Administration and general information\n## Entries\n## Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice\n## Awarding and reporting\n## Student recruitment and progression\n## Appendix 1: Use of calculators","[{\"question\":\"What does Issue 2 of the specification change?\",\"answer\":\"It adds a second assessment session of October and corrects the guidance value from 107 to 105 on page 13.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the specification support progression to International GCSE Mathematics?\",\"answer\":\"It states the iLowerSecondary programme provides preparation for progression to the Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics qualification (Specification A) (9–1).\"},{\"question\":\"What teacher support materials are included for implementing the qualification?\",\"answer\":\"The programme includes editable schemes of work for three years, transition documents, subject-specific teacher guides, suggested teaching plans for each topic, and mapped print and digital learning resources, plus face-to-face professional development and ongoing online webinar support.\"}]","Pearson Edexcel International Award in Lower Secondary Mathematics Specification - Issue 2 - LowerSecondary | PDF",1792467040,116]
