Specification content Specification notes
G1
  • Use conventional terms and notations:
    • points, lines, vertices, edges, planes, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, right angles, polygons, regular polygons and polygons with reflection and/or rotation symmetries
  • Use the standard conventions for labelling and referring to the sides and angles of triangles
  • Draw diagrams from written descriptions


    G3
    • Apply the properties of:
      • angles at a point
      • angles at a point on a straight line
      • vertically opposite angles
    • Understand and use alternate and corresponding angles on parallel lines

    • colloquial terms such as Z angles are not acceptable and should not be used


    The subject content (above) matches that set out in the Department for Education’s Mathematics GCSE subject content and assessment objectives document.

    The expectation is that:

    • All students will develop confidence and competence with the content identified by standard type
    • All students will be assessed on the content identified by the standard and the underlined type; more highly attaining students will develop confidence and competence with all of this content
    • Only the more highly attaining students will be assessed on the content identified by bold type. The highest attaining students will develop confidence and competence with the bold content.
