GCSE Statistics Specification for first teaching in 2017
PDF | 796.16 KB
Statistics is about making decisions when there is uncertainty. Perhaps one of the most versatile areas of maths, it gives students the skills to collect, analyse, interpret and present data.
It complements subjects such as GCSE Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business and Economics, and opens the door to a variety of careers – from weather forecasting to the biological sciences.
To enable your students to show their breadth of knowledge and understanding, we’ve created a simple and straightforward structure and layout to our papers, using a mixture of question styles. There will be no coursework.
