General Marking Guidance










All candidates must receive the same treatment. Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last.
Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions.
Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie.
There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately.
All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme.
Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited.
Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response.

EDEXCEL GCE MATHEMATICS
General Instructions for Marking
1. The total number of marks for the paper is 125.
2. The Edexcel Mathematics mark schemes use the following types of marks:


M marks: Method marks are awarded for ‘knowing a method and attempting to apply it’, unless otherwise indicated.



A marks: Accuracy marks can only be awarded if the relevant method (M) marks have been earned.



B marks are unconditional accuracy marks (independent of M marks)



Marks should not be subdivided.

3. Abbreviations
These are some of the traditional marking abbreviations that will appear in the mark schemes and can be used if you are using the annotation facility on ePEN.


bod – benefit of doubt



ft – follow through



the symbol



cao – correct answer only



cso
- correct solution only. There must be no errors in this part of the question to obtain this mark



isw – ignore subsequent working



awrt – answers which round to



SC: special case



oe – or equivalent (and appropriate)



d… or dep – dependent



indep – independent



dp decimal places



sf significant figures



 The answer is printed on the paper or ag- answer given



will be used for correct ft

or d… The second mark is dependent on gaining the first mark

4. All A marks are ‘correct answer only’ (cao.), unless shown, for example, as A1 ft to indicate that previous wrong working is to be followed through. After a misread however,

PhysicsAndMathsTutor.com the subsequent A marks affected are treated as A ft, but manifestly absurd answers should never be awarded A marks.
5. For misreading which does not alter the character of a question or materially simplify it, deduct two from any A or B marks gained, in that part of the question affected. If you are using the annotation facility on ePEN, indicate this action by ‘MR’ in the body of the script.
6. If a candidate makes more than one attempt at any question:
 If all but one attempt is crossed out, mark the attempt which is NOT crossed out.
 If either all attempts are crossed out or none are crossed out, mark all the attempts and score the highest single attempt.
7. Ignore wrong working or incorrect statements following a correct answer.

General Principles for Core Mathematics Marking
(But note that specific mark schemes may sometimes override these general principles).
Method mark for solving 3 term quadratic:
1. Factorisation
( x 2  bx  c)  ( x  p)( x  q), where pq  c , leading to x = …

(ax 2  bx  c)  (mx  p)(nx  q), where pq  c and mn  a , leading to x = …
2. Formula
Attempt to use correct formula (with values for a, b and c).
3. Completing the square
Solving x 2  bx  c  0 :

( x  b )2  q  c,
2

q  0,

leading to x = …

Method marks for differentiation and integration:
1. Differentiation
Power of at least one term decreased by 1. ( x n  x n 1 )
2. Integration
Power of at least one term increased by 1. ( x n  x n 1 )
Use of a formula
Where a method involves using a formula that has been learnt, the advice given in recent examiners’ reports is that the formula should be quoted first.
Normal marking procedure is as follows:
Method mark for quoting a correct formula and attempting to use it, even if there are small mistakes in the substitution of values.
Where the formula is not quoted, the method mark can be gained by implication from correct working with values, but may be lost if there is any mistake in the working.
Exact answers
Examiners’ reports have emphasised that where, for example, an exact answer is asked for, or working with surds is clearly required, marks will normally be lost if the candidate resorts to using rounded decimals.
Answers without working
The rubric says that these may not gain full credit. Individual mark schemes will give details of what happens in particular cases. General policy is that if it could be done “in your head”, detailed working would not be required.

...and solve problems in everyday life”. In my everyday life I have to keep the balance in my check book, pay bills, take care of kids, run my house, cook, clean etc. With cooking I am using math, measuring how much food to make for four people (I still haven’t mastered that one). With bills I am using math, how much each company gets, to how much money I have to spare (which these days is not much). In my everyday life I do use some form of a math. It might not be how I was taught, but I have learned to adapt to my surroundings and do math how I know it be used, the basic ways, none of that fancy stuff. For my weakest ability I would say I fall into “Confidence with Mathematics”. Math has never been one of my favorite subjects to learn. It is like my brain knows I have to learn it, but it puts up a wall and doesn’t allow the information to stay in there. The handout “The Case for Quantitative Literacy” states I should be at ease with applying quantitative methods, and comfortable with quantitative ideas. To be honest this class scares the crap out of me, and I am worried I won’t do well in this class. The handout also says confidence is the opposite of “Math Anxiety”, well I can assure you I have plenty of anxiety right now with this class. I have never been a confident person with math, I guess I doubt my abilities, because once I get over my fears and anxiety I do fine. I just have to mentally get myself there and usually it’s towards the end of the class. There are several...

...solutions. If you have a graphing calculator, this method is the quickest. If you don't have a calculator, it can be difficult to graph the equation. Completing the square: This is probably the most difficult method. I find it hardest to remember how to apply this method. Since the quadratic formula was derived from this method, I don't think there is a good reason to use completing the square when you have the formula Factoring: this is probably the easiest method for solving an equation with integer solutions. If you can see how to split up the original equation into its factor pair, this is the quickest and allows you to solve the problem in one step.

...This article is about the study of topics, such as quantity and structure. For other uses, see Mathematics (disambiguation). "Math" redirects here. For other uses, see Math (disambiguation). Euclid (holding calipers), Greek mathematician, 3rd century BC, as imagined by Raphael in this detail from The School of Athens.[1] Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers),[2] structure,[3] space,[2] and change.[4][5][6] There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics.[7][8] Mathematicians seek out patterns[9][10] and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical reasoning can provide insight or predictions about nature. Through the use of abstraction and logic, mathematics developed from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. The research required to solve mathematical problems can take years or even centuries of sustained inquiry. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Since the pioneering work of Giuseppe Peano (1858–1932), David Hilbert (1862–1943), and others on axiomatic systems in the late 19th century, it has become customary...

...Diana Garza 1-16-12 Reflection The ideas Stein presents on problem saving and just math in general are that everyone has a different way of saving their own math problems. For explains when you’re doing a math problem you submit all kinds of different numbers into a data or formula till something works or maybe it’s impossible to come up with a solution. For math in general he talks about how math is so big and its due in large measure to the wide variety of situations how it can sit for a long time without being unexamined. Waiting for someone comes along to find a totally unexpected use for it. Just like has work he couldn’t figure it out and someone else found a use for it and now everyone uses it for their banking account. For myself this made me think about how math isn’t always going to have a solution. To any math problem I come across have to come with a clear mind and ready to understand it carefully. If I don’t understand or having hard time taking a small break will help a lot. The guidelines for problem solving will help me a lot to take it step by step instead of trying to do it all at once. Just like the introduction said the impossible takes forever. The things that surprised me are that I didn’t realize how much math can be used in music and how someone who was trying to find something else came to the discovery that he find toe. What may people were trying to find before...

While analyzing and going through the process of this assignment it is helping realize how to become a better teacher as well. I would also like to get more comfortable and experience on using this template of the paper. Memories Of A Teacher My teacher, Mr. G, used many different instructional techniques and approaches to his lessons. Mr. G had taught me math for three years in a row, so I think that I have a good grasp on his approaches to the lessons that he would teach. He would assign many homework assignments, as well as in-class assignments, which helped me and other students understand and get practice with the lesson that we were learning. I think that with math having a lot of homework is a good thing. In my mind, the only way to learn how to do math is plenty of practice. The more you practice, the easier it will be. Mr. G would also have the students do some math problems on the chalk board or smart board to show the class and go over the corrections with the whole class so that everyone would understand the problem.

...Jasmine Petersen Dr. Abdeljabbar MAT 1111 April 23, 2014 Algebra is one of the most important subjects someone can learn. It is a subject that transfers into daily life. A lot of people do not realize that they are using algebra. Algebra can be anything from calculating the amount of money you’ve spent on your grocery shopping, designing structural plans for a building, and keeping track of the calories you have in your diet. Our professor told us that in every subject, we use math. My major is chemistry and mathematics is used widely in chemistry as well as all other sciences. Mathematical calculations are absolutely necessary to explore important concepts in chemistry. You’ll need to convert things from one unit to another. For example, you need to convert 12 inches to feet. Also, we use simple arithmetic to balance equations. A lot of things I’ve had learned from this course and one of them was that we use Math for everyday life. I’ve also learned many ways how to solve equations such as linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic equations. All the material that we did learn was all easy to learn and understand. I believe that the instructor did a good job explaining on how to solve problems. If my friend was asking me how to determine the differences between the equation of the ellipse and the equation of the hyperbola, I would first give he or she the definition of the two words ellipse and hyperbola. An ellipse is a set of all points in a plane such that the sum...

...Math is used everyday – adding the cost of the groceries before checkout, totaling up the monthly bills, estimating the distance and time a car ride is to a place a person has not been. The problems worked this week have showed how math works in the real world. This paper will show how two math problems from chapter five real world applications numbers 35 and 37 worked out. Number 35 A person hired a firm to build a CB radio tower. The firm charges $100 for labor for the first 10 feet. After that, the cost of labor for each succeeding 10 feet is $25 more than the preceding 10 feet. That is, the nest 10 feet will cost $125; the next 10 feet will cost $150, etc. How much will it cost to build a 90-foot tower? Solving this problem involves the arithmetic sequence. The arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each succeeding term differs from the preceding term by the same amount (Bluman, 2011). n = number of terms altogether n = 9 d = the common differences d = 25 ª1 = first term ª1 = 100 ªn = last term ª2 = ª9 The formula used to solve this problem came from the book page 222. ªn = ª1 + (n -1)d ª9 = 100 + (9-1)25 ª9 = 100 + (8)25 ...

...you come to geometry, your opinion may vary. This class introduces a lot of new topics, which can be challenging, and take lots of practice outside of school if you do not pay attention or do your math homework. I strongly advise you to do your math homework everyday, not for just a grade, but it also helps you when it comes time for quizzes and tests. She rarely checks homework, but when she does, she will not tell you. It is also a great review for tests and quizzes. Ms.Hull’s tests and quizzes are not the easiest things you will take. The quizzes take new concepts and apply to the quiz. Also, her tests are usually always hard. It is a good idea to practice new concepts and review old ones from previous units, so you can get a good grade on the tests. I also advise you to be organized throughout the year. Organization is the key to success especially in math class. Tool kits are an extremely helpful resource to use. There are going to be a lot of conjectures and theorems that will be new, and it would be hard to just memorize them. My overall geometry year was not exactly the way I hoped it would turn out. It was extremely had, and it moves at a very quick pace, so keeping up was hard for me personally. If I could have done something differently, it would have been practicing math more often. Each concept was hard, and I did not have anytime to review it, because I have a lot of honors classes which require a lot of work too. The key to being successful in this course...

Many of us do not realize how often we use math in our daily lives. Many of us believe that math is learned in classes, and often forgotten, as we do not practice it in the real world. Truth is, we actually use math every day, all of the time. Math is used everywhere, in each of our lives. Math does not always need to be thought of as rocket science. Math is such a large part of our lives, we do not even notice we are computing problems in our lives! For example, if one were interested in baking, one must understand that math is involved. One may ask, “How is math involved with cooking?” Fractions are needed to bake an item. A real world problem for baking could be as such: Heena is baking a cake that requires two and one-half cups of flour. Heena poured four and one-sixth cups of flour into a bowl. How much flour should Heena take out of the bowl? In this scenario of a real world problem, we have fractions, and subtraction of fractions, since Heena has added four and one-sixth cups of flour, rather than the needed...
