Session 3: Mark schemes, Examiner Reports
and other resources.
www.cie.org.uk
Welcome
• Introductions
• Background
• Aim of training
www.cie.org.uk
Session 3 looks at:
• Using the mark scheme
• Using Examiner Reports
• Additional resources for IGCSE
Mathematics
www.cie.org.uk
Using mark schemes (1):
The importance of mark schemes
Mark schemes:
•
•
•
•
Give the allocation of marks
Indicate the range of acceptable answers
Give examples of unacceptable answers
Give an indication of what Examiners are
looking for in an answer
www.cie.org.uk
Using mark schemes (2):
Use with the Examiner Report
The mark scheme and Examiner Report:
• Both give information about each part of
each question
• Should be used side by side to analyse
students’ answers to questions
• Provide information which can be passed
on to students
www.cie.org.uk
Using mark schemes (3):
Analysis of candidate scripts
Take each question in turn and do the following:
• Make yourself familiar with the mark scheme
• Mark the questions showing clearly where you
gave each mark
• Bear in mind the marking guidelines given in
Unit 2
• When you have finished, compare your marks
with those of the Examiner
www.cie.org.uk
Using Examiner Reports (1):
The importance of the Reports
• The range of candidate misconceptions is
addressed
• Areas of weakness of the candidates as a
whole are highlighted
• Reasons are suggested for common
incorrect answers
• The correct range of acceptable answers
are listed for each question
www.cie.org.uk
Using Examiner Reports (2):
Analysis of contents
• Misreading of questions
• Incorrect reference or lack of reference to
the stem of a question
• Shape and Space questions – common
threads?
• Number questions?
• Algebra questions? Graphs?
• Statistics and Probability questions?
• Advice for future candidates
www.cie.org.uk
Using Examiner Reports (3):
Teaching aims and the Examiner
Report
• It is useful to analyse Examiner Reports
over a number of years
• There are a number of misconceptions that
regularly appear
• There are a number of specific areas which
students find conceptually difficult

Additional resources (1):
CIE Teacher Support website
• Syllabuses Examiner Reports dating back
to 2001
• Question papers dating back to 2001
(November and June sessions)
• All of the associated mark schemes for the
question papers
• Schemes of work
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (2):
Schemes of work (1)
The scheme of work has 10 Units:
1) Number and Algebra (Core)
2) Further Number and Algebra (Core)
3) Shape and Space (Core)
4) Geometry (Core)
5) Statistics and Transformations (Core)
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (3):

10)
Further Number and Probability (Extended)
Further Algebra (Extended)
Shape and Space (Extended)
Geometry (Extended)
Statistics and Transformations (Extended)
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (4):
Support test materials
• Test materials related to each section of
the scheme of work are available
• A section of associated exam questions
has been produced for each Unit on the
scheme of work. Mark schemes are also
given
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (5):
• CIE discussion groups
• Learn CIE website
- revision materials for Core and
Extended
- individual tutorials on every IGCSE
Mathematics topic with questions
- individual lesson plans on some topics
- an online test centre
• Online IGCSE courses
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (6)
• Distance learning pack
• Specimen papers
• IGCSE Mathematics Past Papers on CD
Toolkit
• IGCSE Mathematics endorsed textbooks
• Teaching and Assessing Skills in
Mathematics book
• Resource lists
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (7):
Developing resource trails
• Resource trails are ‘packs’ of resources /
references that support the teaching of a
particular topic
• Start from the long term plans – SOW
• Medium term plans – work over a topic
www.cie.org.uk
Additional resources (8):
Developing resource trails
• Short term plans – individual lessons
• Developing resource packs
-Text references
-Websites – CIE and non-CIE sites
-Test sites and papers
-Homework / formative assessments
-Lesson starters
-Variety of learning and teaching style
