Year 10 Mathematics
Scheme of Work
Fifty-nine pages, board-neutral, with both tiers planned together. The Foundation and Higher split is taken from the bold type in the DfE subject content rather than from any one specification, so it runs unchanged on AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas. Every unit shows a piece of student work with the error in it beside the repair, and six printable diagnostics sit at the back.
- 1aNumber: Primes, Indices, Standard Form and the Limits of Accuracy
- 1bAlgebra: Expanding, Factorising and Changing the Subject
- 2aEquations, Inequalities and Simultaneous Equations
- 2bRatio, Proportion and Rates of Change
- 3aGeometry: Similarity, Pythagoras and Trigonometry
- 3bGraphs: Straight Lines, Quadratics and Real-Life Relationships
Ten sections per unit, in the same order every time. Phases rather than single lessons, because mathematics is timetabled at three to four hours a week.
Both tiers are planned together, because a class is not two classes and an entry decision made in Year 10 is made a year too early. Every unit names the statutory content it discharges, so coverage across the two years can be audited rather than assumed.
Number and algebra come first because the assessment objectives make fluency load-bearing for everything else.
