Introduction
The Key Stage 3 Mathematics series covers the new National Curriculum for Mathematics
(SCAA: The National Curriculum Orders, DFE, January 1995, 0 11 270894 3). Detailed curriculum
references are provided. Each pack is designed to be flexible and can be used in a variety of
ways:
• A complete course for Level 6 – The worksheets can be used to provide complete coverage
of: Number and Algebra; Shape, Space and Measures; and Handling Data. The problem-
solving tasks provide experience for the pupils in Using and Applying Mathematics.
• Individual lessons – The teacher can explain the tasks and provide the worked examples,
either on the board, as overhead transparencies or as photocopied sheets for the students.
Students should then attempt the exercises.
• Teacher’s lesson notes – The notes and examples are useful for new teachers and can form
the basis of lesson plans.
• Absent students – The notes, examples and exercises can be used by students during long-
term absence or to help students catch up after absence.
• Examination revision – The notes and examples can be issued to students shortly before the
examination for revision purposes.
Exam papers
Each paper is set on three or four sides of A4 paper. This will allow the exam paper to be placed
on one sheet of A3, in order to remove the onerous task of writing and stapling exam papers. If
both papers are set, the contents of Number and Algebra, Shape, Space and Measures, and
Handling Data will have been covered at Level 6.
Each question is related to a specific part of the National Curriculum as indicated on the chart
on pages 58 and 59.
It is also possible to use each exam paper as homework sheets in preparation for the end of Key
Stage 3 examinations.
