Abstract
The Assessment and
Evaluation Unit within the School of
Education at the
University of
Leeds was one of two groups
contracted by QCA in response to the Smith Report, Making Mathematics Count, to
put forward recommendations for new pathways in mathematics at 14-19. The talk
will look at the recommendations made to QCA, dealing with, in particular,
functional mathematics, GCSE 1 and GCSE 2, the mathematics for the specialized
or vocational diplomas and GCE.
No charge is made to attend
meetings, non-IMA members are
welcome
The talk is coordinated by East
Midlands Branch Secretary, Dr Stephen Hibberd, School of Mathematical
Sciences,
University of Nottingham, email: stephen.hibberd@nottingham.ac.uk.
