Agenda Criteria Introducing the specifications– Mathematics– Further Mathematics Assessment Support
Supporting great mathsteaching Simple, intuitive specifications that enable coteaching and parallel delivery Clear, familiar, accessible exam papers withspecified content A wide range of free exam practice to fullyprepare students and help you track progress Complete support and free materials to helpyou understand and deliver the specifications The published resources you know and trust,fully updated for 2017
The A level reforms
The A level reforms All new AS and A levels will be assessed atthe same standard as they are currently All new AS and A levels will be fully linear AS levels will be stand-alone qualifications The content of the AS level can be a sub-setof the A level content to allow co-teachability,but marks achieved in the AS will not counttowards the A level
The A level reforms - HEALCAB set up – November 2013 ALCAB – the A level content advisory board “Will look at content only – will not look atthe structure and assessment ofqualifications” Representing Russell group interests andopinions Subject panels included a range ofstakeholders
The A level reforms - DfEJuly 2014 ALCAB published final report (includingadvice to delay first teaching to 2017) DfE consultation on content (based onALCAB’s advice)December 2014 DfE published finalised content documents
The A level reforms contentA level Mathematics 100% core content Pure mathematics (broadly same as C1 toC4) Mechanics (mainly from M1 and M2) Statistics (mainly from S1 and S2) AS content shown in bold font
The A level reforms contentA level Further Mathematics 50% core (all pure mathematics) 50% optional and can include– pure mathematics– mechanics– statistics– decision mathematics– any other
The A level reforms contentAS level Further Mathematics 20% core (all pure mathematics) 10% compulsory (selected from the A levelcore) 70% optional (same options as A level)We have made an additional 20% of the contentcompulsory (taken from A level core)
The A level reforms content Requirement for the assessment of problem solving,communication, proof, modelling, application oftechniques Requirement for a pre-release large data set(mathematics only) Requirement that candidates have a calculator with– the ability to compute summary statistics and accessprobabilities from standard statistical distributions– an iterative function– the ability to perform calculations with matrices up to atleast order 3 3 (further mathematics only)
The A level reforms OfqualOfqual published conditions and guidancein April 2016No rules on total assessment time length of papers number of papers non-calculator assessmentOfqual have set one rule no non-exam assessment (NEA)

Published resourcesWe are committed to helping teachers deliverour Edexcel qualifications and students toachieve their full potential. To do this, we aimfor our qualifications to be supported by a widerange of high-quality resources, produced by arange of publishers.However, it is not necessary to purchasepublished resources to deliver ourqualifications.
Published resourcesPearson’s brand-new resources* for Edexcel AS andA level Mathematics and Further Mathematics arebeing fully updated for 2017 x3 Student Books ebooks for AS and A levelMathematics: Pure 1, Pure 2 and Applied (onlyPure 1 and Applied are needed at AS level). x10 Student Books ebooks to choose fromto cover all the core and optional AS and A levelFurther Mathematics content. ActiveLearn Digital Service for front-of-classebook versions of the Textbooks with interactiveresources for teaching and independent study,progression and assessment materials, and it isintegrated with Edexcel’s free interactiveschemes of work.*These resources have not yet been endorsed.You do not have to purchase any resources to deliver our qualification.
Published resourcesOur simple structure of one textbook per A level exam paper means that youand your students have all you need for each exam in one place, giving youthe best exam preparation.Our textbooks: retain all the features you know and love including worked examples,SolutionBank, lots of exam-style questions, Practice papers and plenty ofMixed and Review exercises are fully updated to match the new specifications, with more of afocus on problem-solving and modelling as well as supporting the largedata sets and new calculators come packed with additional online content to support independentlearning, including e-book versions, videos, graphing activities and ourmuch-loved SolutionBank feature, which provides worked solutions for allquestions are aligned with all the free qualification support, including theSchemes of Work, Topic tests and exam practice materials
Published resourcesYou’ve told us you’d like plenty of time to prepare forfirst teaching, and so we’ll be making the ‘Statisticsand Mechanics’ Pearson textbook content for AS levelMathematics available online for FREE from early2017.This will help you: familiarise yourselves with the Statistics andMechanics content that is now compulsory for Alevel Mathematics get some ideas on how to use the large data setin your teaching understand how the new calculators can be usedwith Statistics and MechanicsBook an appointmentTalk to one of our maths experts to understandwhat’s right for you and your students.

Other published resourcesWe are working with a range of publishers who are lookingtowards getting their resources endorsed. Collins: Collins’ A-level Maths resources. Master the newlinear A-level with Collins’ brand new Student Books,providing full and flexible course coverage for AS and Alevel. Hodder Education: Develop your students’ understandingof mathematical concepts and their applications with theonly Edexcel resources developed with subject specialistKeith Pledger and Mathematics in Education and Industry(MEI). Oxford University Press: Edexcel A Level Maths is a brandnew course focused on problem-solving and assessment,with accessible resources to support transition from GCSE.No paid-for products or services are required to deliver Pearson Edexcel qualifications.

The AS GCE is both a 'stand-alone' qualification and also the first half of the corresponding Advanced GCE. The AS GCE is assessed at a standard appropriate for candidates who have completed the first year of study (both in terms of teaching time and content) of the corresponding two-year Advanced GCE course, ie between GCSE and Advanced GCE.
