2. Sequences Continue sequences that increase or decrease in equal steps. Extend sequences below zero. Spend time with your teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Fill in gaps in sequences increasing by equal steps. Continue sequences that don’t increase in equal steps in simple cases. Continue sequences and solve problems involving time. For example: The bus to Dronfield runs every 8 minutes and the bus to Matlock runs every 9 minutes. Both buses pull in to the Depo at 9am. What is the next time that both the Dronfield and Matlock buses will both be in the Depo?
Name the following familiar sequences: The Square Numbers. The Triangle Numbers. The Multiples of…. The Powers of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. The Fibonacci Numbers. Generate terms of a linear sequence using term-to-term and position-to-term definitions of the sequence, discuss the advantages/disadvantages of each. Understand and use the terms: Finite Infinite Linear Ascending Descending Find the nth term of an ascending linear sequence and generate a sequence given the nth term.
Find the nth term of a descending linear sequence or a linear sequence that does not change in integer steps. Find the nth term of a linear sequence given any four consecutive terms in the sequence. Justify whether or not a particular number will be in a given sequence.
To be exceeding in these topics you need to: Show that you have understood all of the previous columns and that you can successfully apply your knowledge to unfamiliar multi-step problems. Summarise key ideas in order to help yourself retain your knowledge. Research parts of the topic that have been of particular interest to you. Ask yourself ‘What if?’ and
‘Why?’ questions in order to
extend your written solution
to at least one set task. You
should justify your findings
in a clear logical way.
Spot patterns, investigate
further and justify your
findings.

Probability
TOPIC Beginning Progressing Secure Above Exceeding 1. Organising Sample
Spaces
Spend time with your teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Make complete lists of possible outcomes starting from basic cases and building up to more complex cases E.g. Alan, Ben and Claire run the 100m. Assuming none of them draw, how many different ways can they finish the race?
Organise a complete set of information using: Frequency trees Venn Diagrams Two-way tables Lists
Organise given information into a two-way table, Venn diagram or frequency tree and use it to find missing information. Interchange between Venn diagrams, frequency trees and two-way tables.

2. Likelihood Spend time with your teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Use vocabulary and ideas of probability, drawing on experience. Understand and use the probability scale from 0 to 1; find probabilities based on equally likely outcomes in simple contexts; identify all the possible mutually exclusive outcomes of a single event.
Collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table; estimate probabilities based on this data. Understand that repeating the experiment may lead to different results.
Know that if the probability of an event occurring is p, then the probability of it not occurring is 1 – p. Find and record all possible mutually exclusive outcomes for two or three successive events in a systematic way. Know that the sum of the probabilities of all mutually exclusive outcomes is 1 and use this when solving problems.
Know what is meant by a Sample Space. Use Venn diagrams, frequency trees and two-way tables in order to organise your sample space and calculate probabilities.
Know that increasing the number of times an experiment is repeated generally leads to better estimates of probability.
Compare experimental and theoretical probabilities.
Statistics – Where appropriate use the Edexcel data set on World Weather.
TOPIC Beginning Progressing Secure Above Exceeding 1. Data Collection Spend time with your
teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Use a predesigned questionnaire question to gather information from peers and collate in a sensible way. Use a tally chart to collect data to support a given hypothesis.
Understand the difference
between primary and
secondary data.
Design and use a survey question and suitable data collection sheet.
Design a non-leading questionnaire question with time frame, & appropriate exhaustive, non-overlapping, answer boxes. Decide the degree of accuracy needed when collecting data. Suggest a suitable hypothesis to explore and decide whether you will use primary, secondary or a mixture of sources. Know the advantages and disadvantages of using primary and secondary data. Choose a suitable sample size. Know what is meant by an outlier and suggest possible strategies for dealing with one. Know techniques for random sampling, why we use them and use one of these techniques to collect a sample of suitable size. Construct and use tables for collecting large discrete data sets.

2. Data Calculations Spend time with your teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Find the median, mode and range for small sets of discrete data.
Find the mean average,
interpreting average as
“total amount ÷ number of
items" and solve word
problems involving average.
Know that the mean should
not be rounded to an integer
value. Know sensible mental
strategies for calculating the
mean of symmetrical data
(e.g. 123, 125, 127).
Know that extreme values affect the mean average more significantly than any other measures of average. Know that when asked to find ‘the average’ this implies to find the mean. Compare two or more data sets using the median or mean and the range. Find the median, mode, mean and range from an ungrouped frequency table. Locate the median in a large
data set using 𝑛+1
2 .
Choose the most appropriate average to use for a given the data set.
Combine two data sets to find an overall mean by working backwards to find totals.

3. Data
Representation &
Analysis
Spend time with your teacher developing skills that will help you to access the Progressing column.
Construct and interpret:
Bar charts (including
comparative and
composite) leaving gaps
between bars.
Pictograms
Line graphs
Draw pie charts from raw data.
Construct Stem and Leaf diagrams (including back-to-back), create keys and read from these confidently. Calculate the median and range from a Stem and Leaf diagram and use these to compare data sets. Read and interpret pie charts. Explore misleading graphical representations.
