Key Stage 4 - KS4 Maths
If you decide to study maths at a higher level you will begin to see what Key Stage 4 is all about, Key Stage 4 mathematics consists of foundation mathematics and higher mathematics. At foundation level the majority of topics you will have already of seen at previous stages and levels, you will revisit topics such as decimals, fractions, indices/exponents, geometry and algebraic expressions and fractions. In addition to all of these, you will be introduced to some new areas of maths that include statistics and statistic-probability. In relation to statistics, you will be taught how to create scatter diagrams, stem and leaf plots and frequency distribution tables. You will also be expected to become comfortable with probability and the probability of simple events, rolling a dice and experimental probability. Towards the end of Key Stage 4 once you are completely comfortable with algebra and algebraic expressions you will be introduced to quadratic equations, quadratic equations with factorisation and learn how to solve quadratic equations. As you can see Key Stage 4 mathematics progresses onto another level in comparison to previous stages, thus, it is important to remember that here at Futureschool we are always here to give you help and guidance!
