Maths scheme of work: Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level

Year 7 · Year 8 · Year 9 · Year 10 · Year 11 · A Level · 36 units in all

Six half-termly units an academic year, set out as one sequence table instead of a page per lesson. The A Level scheme keeps the same shape over a longer span: six units across the two years, to the personal investigation, the coursework or the examinations. Each year is written backwards from what the next one states it assumes on entry, so Year 7 ends where Year 8 needs it to start and nothing is taught twice by accident. Every unit maps to the statutory content. The GCSE books run to 59 to 61 pages each against 32 to 35 pages at Key Stage 3, with printable diagnostics at the back of each. Most departments just call it a SOW. In the staffroom it is “GCSE maths”.

Board-neutral by construction. No board’s specification is followed. The units map to the Department for Education’s own subject content, which AQA, OCR and Pearson Edexcel each have to cover however they order or label it. A department teaches this sequence whichever board they sit. A change of board does not mean a change of scheme.

1b Place Value and Directed Number
2a Fractions, Decimals and Percentages
2b Expressions and Solving Equations
3a Ratio and Proportion
3b Lines, Angles and Data

A Level Mathematics Scheme of Work

Forty-eight pages built on the one document every specification in England is made from: the DfE subject content for AS and A level mathematics, its nineteen lettered sections and its three overarching themes. It runs unchanged on every board. Differentiation from first principles gets a full week before the rule, and every Year 13 technique is derived from something already known rather than announced. The last six weeks are diagnosis-led: every lost mark on two mock papers is categorised, and each student’s plan is built from their own totals.

1a Foundations: Proof, Algebra, Functions and Coordinate Geometry
1b Calculus Begins: Trigonometry, Exponentials, Differentiation and Integration
1c Applied Mathematics: Statistics, Mechanics and Vectors
2a Extending the Pure: Functions, Series, Identities and Advanced Differentiation
2b Completing the Course: Integration, Numerical Methods, and the Applied Extensions
2c Synoptic Fluency: Diagnosis, Technique and the Examinations
