Hello Colleague
We hope you had a fantastic break over half-term and that you’ve got off to a great start in the classroom. 😊
The November 2024 GCSE (9-1) Maths exams are nearly upon us. If you have students taking the qualification, we wish them every success. The exam dates are below and students will be given a formulae sheet in each exam. Question papers will be published online on Teach Cambridge a few days after each exam has been sat.
- Wednesday 6 November morning – J560/01 and J560/04 (calculator papers)
- Friday 8 November morning – J560/02 and J560/05 (non-calculator papers)
- Monday 11 November morning – J560/03 and J560/06 (calculator papers)
If you’ll be in London on Tuesday 26 November for the PiXL Maths Conference, we look forward to seeing you there. Drop by our stand to discuss our qualifications and support, plus you’ll be able to pick up a few free things from our stand… 😊
We’re very interested to speak with teachers willing to share their thoughts and opinions on the future of maths at KS3 and GCSE (including ITTs, ECTs and non-maths specialists; there’s also no need to teach our qualifications). We're exploring how the current maths curriculum and assessment could be reimagined and evolved into a more supportive, relevant and confidence-inspiring qualification that provides students with skills for life and work. To get involved, complete this form and we’ll get back in touch with different ways to join the discussion, from surveys to interviews and focus groups.
As ever, if you have any queries or need any further support, please get in touch with us. Our role is to support you as you deliver our qualifications.
