Home Schooling Maths / Mathematics GCSE - The Course

The Maths GCSE course gently guides the student through basic mathematical skills, progressing onto more advanced material as the student's skills and abilities develop. The course is divided into two parts: the first is for all students; the second is for those who will be taking the Higher tier of the examination.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

There are thirteen tutor-marked assignments and a practice exam paper.

The course covers the entire syllabus in 13 modules, with a 14th on the examination:

The Syllabus

Our Maths GCSE course prepares students for AQA GCSE Mathematics syllabus 4301 for exams in 2008 and later years. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the most suited to distance learning

Assessment is by two written papers (40% each) and two pieces of coursework (20%).  It is anticipated that coursework will not be required for examinations in 2009 onwards

Special Requirements

A reasonable level of proficiency in arithmetical skills is assumed.

Coursework

Home schooling students aiming to take the examination in 2008 must complete two pieces of coursework, each aimed at a different assessment objective. The course gives guidance for the completion of the coursework tasks.
