AS and A-level Maths route map Scheme of work for two teachers Version 1. 0, September 2017
A-level Maths route map Scheme of work for two teachers Year 1: AS Mathematics Year 2: A-level Mathematics This route map has been created to provide a suggested teaching route for two teachers delivering the AS and A-level Mathematics specification over two years. It is designed to enable students to sit AS Maths at the end of Year 1, and A-level Maths at the end of Year 2. In each week, one teacher should deliver the content in the top row of tiles and a second teacher should deliver the content in the bottom row of tiles. Please note this route map provides a suggested route to teaching the qualification. The topics can be taught in any order over any length of time to suit your own students.
How to use the route map To activate the route map, open it in Power. Point, click on the Slide Show tab followed by the From Beginning button in the navigation bar. To customise the route map, drag and drop the coloured tiles to move topics around, and extend or reduce the size of the tiles to adjust the teaching time. You can then save your customised version of the route map. Clicking on a topic tile will give further information about the specification references and specification notes. Supporting resources for this teaching route are available on All About Maths.

Use of data in statistics The Department for Education (Df. E) have set out the following requirements regarding the use of data in statistics as follows: 9. AS and A level mathematics specifications must require students to: • become familiar with one or more specific large data set(s) in advance of the final assessment (these data must be real and sufficiently rich to enable the concepts and skills of data presentation and interpretation in the specification to be explored) • use technology such as spreadsheets or specialist statistical packages to explore the data set(s) • interpret real data presented in summary or graphical form • use data to investigate questions arising in real contexts. 10. Specifications should require students to explore the data set(s), and associated contexts, during their course of study to enable them to perform tasks that assume familiarity with the contexts, the main features of the data and the ways in which technology can help explore the data. Specifications should also require students to demonstrate the ability to analyse a subset or features of the data using a calculator with standard statistical functions, as detailed in paragraph 8 (please see Df. E content for further information). We encourage the use of statistical data sets and statistical packages throughout the course of study of statistics. In this route map, we have set aside two weeks in year 12, weeks 35, 41 and 42, to encourage independent interrogation of data. In week 41, we suggest students study an A-level statistics topic and in week 35 and 42, we suggest students complete an activity using statistical packages. Note: It is up teachers to decide which statistics topics to use with statistical data sets and packages. The weeks suggested and the content suggested (N 2 and N 3) is an example.
