A man buys 3 fish and 2 chips for £2.80 A woman buys 1 fish and 4 chips for £2.60 How much are the fish and how much are the chips? There are two methods of solving simultaneous equations. Use the method which you
prefer. |
Method 2:
Substitution Rearrange one of the original equations to isolate a variable. Rearranging (2): f = 260 - 4c Substitute this into the other equation: 3(260 - 4c) + 2c = 280 \ 780 - 12c + 2c = 280 \ 10c = 500 \ c = 50 Substitute this into one of the original equations to get f = 60 . |

Priory High School
Briefing Sheet 2005/2006
Name of Course Tutor
GCSE Maths Intermediate Level Steve Knight
Awarding Body
OCR (Oxford and Cambridge)
What will this course cover?
The course will cover the whole of the OCR GCSE Mathematics Intermediate Level syllabus, starting from fairly basic mathematic and arithmetic concepts and progressing to algebra, geometry, basic statistics, probability, trigonometry and several other areas of mathematical knowledge and skills.
What is expected of me as a student?
This course would normally be taught, in school, over a period of two years. The time spent in the classroom is obviously not enough, on its own, to pass the exam. You will have to spend time at home practicing and improving you mathematics in private study.
How will the course be taught?
Everyone learns in different ways, so different teaching methods will be used. There will be lots of practice. Very often the students on the course will be able to help each other, and that is actively encouraged. There will be lectures, demonstrations, group discussions, learning by discovery – a range of activities which are intended to have a wide appeal.
How will I be assessed?
There are two methods for final assessment – course work and exams. There will be two pieces of course work. These are set and marked by the examining body. There will be a description of a scenario, and some questions. You will be given these during the course. At some point you will be asked to write up your work during two of the sessions. Your work will be sent to the examining body for marking. One piece of coursework concerns data handling and the other is about patterns in numbers.
The exams are taken at the end of the course, and consist of two papers. You will be able to use a calculator for some parts of the exam, and not for others.
During the course itself there will be several assessments of your progress. This is to help you to see what areas you need to concentrate on, and it will help the tutor to understand in which areas you need more help.
What will I need to provide?
You will need a scientific calculator (advice will be available on this if required), pens, paper, ruler, compasses, protractor and set square. You will also need to spend some of your own time for reading and practicing.
