Mathematics Department Year 11H II Scheme of Work
Main text book – Edexcel Mathematics A Linear Higher (Pearson) with its supporting worksheets for homework.
In the Spring term a revision /practice booked is also loaned to pupils. The text book is on loan to pupils. Pupils
must own a full Maths set and scientific calculator which should be brought to each lesson. This equipment can
be provided for pupils if they require it for a charge. The 11H II class is the second of three set ability groups.
Pupils are set after the summer test of Year 10.
Topics are taught from the GCSE Higher Tier syllabus which was started in year 10. The course is completed at
the end of the spring term. Teachers differentiate (upwards & downwards) to support the stronger/weaker pupils.
Differentiation is supported by extension work in text books and work sheets. Number, Algebra, Geometry,
Statistics, are the main assessment areas and these are visited once or twice a term. Within these areas there
will be problem solving, functional skills and tasks requiring mental methods and the use of IT. Homework is
given twice a week.
