Route Map

Specification references (in recommended teaching order)

Specification content Specification notes
G7
  • Identify, describe and construct congruent and similar shapes, on co-ordinate axes, by considering rotation, reflection, translation and enlargement (including fractional scale factors)

G24
  • Describe translations as 2D vectors


    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.
