GCSE Subject Criteria for Mathematics for First Teaching in 2010
Ofqual stipulates the criteria for awarding organisations to follow when developing specifications for GCSEs qualifications. Specifications have to meet these criteria in order to be accredited.
The GCSE qualification criteria explain the general aims of studying a particular subject at GCSE and outline the essential knowledge skills and understanding required. They also stipulate the structure of GCSEs and their assessment and grading. As is usually the case, where more than one awarding organisation is offering a GCSE, Ofqual has developed specific subject criteria to ensure consistency.
The subject content was specified in much more detail than in the 2007 version and covers areas of:
*Number and algebra
*Geometry and measures
*Statistics and probability
