GCSE Subject Criteria for Mathematics for First Teaching in 2007
QCA stipulates the criteria for awarding organisations to follow when developing specifications for GCSEs qualifications. Specifications have to meet these criteria in order to be accredited.
The GCSE qualification criteria explain the general aims of studying a particular subject at GCSE and outline the essential knowledge skills and understanding required. They also stipulate the structure of GCSEs and their assessment and grading. As is usually the case, where more than one awarding organisation is offering a GCSE, specific subject criteria are developed to ensure consistency.
The criteria refer to four assessment objectives:
*Using and applying mathematics
*Number and algebra
*Shape, space and measures
*Handling data
