Summary
Introduced in 2004, the Edexcel GCE Mathematics
specification was reissued for first teaching in September 2008.
The specification provides greater flexibility, with the aim of
creating a positive learning environment.
The amendments affect Further Pure Mathematics units and Decision Mathematics units. There are no changes to any other units in Core, Statistics or Mechanics.
The updated Further Pure Mathematics units:
• allow GCE Mathematics and Further Mathematics to be taught
in parallel with greater ease
• allow greater flexibility in delivery
• give students the opportunity to study Further Mathematics
at AS and A2.
•
The updated Decision Mathematics units:
• balance out the content between the two units, making them
more manageable for both teachers and students alike
• retain the same content, so the transition to the new units
is a smooth one.
First examined in June 2002, the AEA in Mathematics aims to challenge the top 10% of candidates nationally and help differentiate between the most able candidates. The AEA is accessible to all able candidates and requires no additional teaching content.
