This is a one-year course and covers the four main areas of mathematics: algebra, geometry and probability; number; measure and statistics.

This GCSE is one of two mathematics based GCSEs (the other being GCSE Mathematics-Numeracy) and it may be studied with or without GCSE Mathematics-Numeracy.  GCSE Mathematics has all the content of GCSE Mathematics–Numeracy with additional content in the areas of algebra, geometry and probability.
