An overview of the GCSE Maths learning objectives that relate to this particular topic area. The expectation is that:
- All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
- All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
- Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
- A19
- Solve two simultaneous equations in two variables (linear / linear) algebraically; find approximate solutions using a graph.
- A19h
- Solve two simultaneous equations in two variables (linear / linear or linear / quadratic) algebraically; find approximate solutions using a graph.
- A21
- Translate simple situations or procedures into algebraic expressions or formulae; derive an equation (or two simultaneous equations), solve the equation(s) and interpret the solution.
