New Steps to Replace Levels
 Essentially there are 12 steps across the topics
 They range in difficulty from F1 up to 9.
 Not all topics will commence at step F1.
 Not all topics will reach the difficulty of step 9.
 Why we have used F1,F2,F3 and continued to 9.

Number
Accuracy and bounds
Identify upper and lower bounds for rounding of discrete and continuous data

Number
Accuracy and bounds
Identify the upper and lower bounds of a measurement
3
Number
Accuracy and bounds
Recognise that measurements given to the nearest whole unit may be inaccurate by up to one half in
either direction. Use error intervals.
3
Number
Accuracy and bounds
Use inequality notation to specify simple error intervals due to truncation or rounding
6
Number
Accuracy and bounds
Calculate the upper and lower bounds of 2-D measurements e.g. area
8
Number
Accuracy and bounds
Calculate the upper and lower bounds of other compound measurements e.g. density

How Does This Support Maths?
 Consistent approach to a 5 year course
 Clear understanding of what each step is and what is needed to progress
 A smooth transition from a system based around ‘levels’ to a system with
steps, which is synchronised to the new GCSE grading system 9-1
