Y10 Content Autumn

Quadratic Equations - used for modelling and linking to topics studied in physics. It is also useful preparation for those students who will go on to study further maths.  

Simultaneous Equations - Building on knowledge of linear equations from stage one, the concept of two variables, graphical solving is also used in science.  

Combined Events Mutually Exclusive Events  

Independent Events and Tree Diagrams  

Conditional Probability Venn Diagrams and Set Notation  

Growth and Decay  

Compound Measures 

Y10 Content Spring

Bounds - Using their knowledge of error intervals to allow them to answer upper and lower bounds questions within lots of different contexts.  

Trigonometry - This is advancing onto non-right-angled trigonometry, using the sine and cosine rule to calculate missing sides, sides and the area of scalene triangles. 

Y10 Content Summer

Data - Looking at cumulative frequency, histograms and box plots and how to compare and analyse data.  

Inequalities - Solving both linear and quadratic inequalities 

Y11 Content Autumn

Circle Theorems - Introducing the mathematical concept of a theorem and how they are proved.  

Algebra - building on skills so that in science and other industries complex formula can be rearranged to find important measures.  Algebraic Fractions - simplifying Algebraic fractions, solving Algebraic Fraction Equations
