OCR A MATHS: H240 SPECIFICATION





ASSESSMENT COMMAND WORDS In general, learners should show sufficient detail of their working to indicate that a correct method is being used. The following command words are used to indicate when more, or less, specific detail is required. • Exact • Show that • Determine • Give, State, Write down • In this question you must show detailed reasoning. • Hence • Hence or otherwise • You may use the result • Plot • Sketch • Draw





These overarching themes should be applied, along with associated mathematical thinking and understanding, across the whole of the content in both mathematics and further mathematics:

1. Mathematical argument, language and proof

2. Mathematical problem solving

3. Mathematical modelling

OVERARCHING THEMES





OVERARCHING THEMES





OT1: Mathematical argument, language and proof

ASSESSING THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY

• Solving Equations

• Evaluation of Calculus

• Numerical Methods

• Hypothesis Testing





SOLVING EQUATIONS





SOLVING EQUATIONS





EVALUATION OF CALCULUS





NUMERICAL METHODS





HYPOTHESIS TESTING





DETAILED REASONING





ASSESSING THE LARGE DATA SET

• Introducing the Large Data Set

• Defining Material Advantage

• Assessment Examples





LARGE DATA SET

• Designed to be used in the classroom.

• Students will not have access to the large data set in the exam.

• Students will not be expected to spend time entering data into a calculator.

• Some of the questions on the statistics content will be set in the context of the large data set, providing a material advantage to students who have spent time exploring the data.





LARGE DATA SET

Questions could • assume familiarity with the terminology and contexts of

the data,

• use summary statistics, or selected data from, or statistical diagrams based on the large data set,

• be based on samples related to the contexts in the prescribed large data set,

• require learners to interpret data in ways which would be too demanding in an unfamiliar context.
