Mathematics 9709: Support For Cambridge International AS & A Level

Support for Cambridge International AS & A Level
Mathematics 9709
Supporting you every step of the way
We provide a wide range of support so that you can give your learners the best possible preparation for Cambridge qualifications.
Here is a list of the teaching and learning support available for the Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics 9709
syllabus that is available for examination in 2020.
Our support material is available online through the School Support Hub at: www.cambridgeinternational.org/support
Syllabus and assessment materials

The syllabus is well designed, interesting to teach, accessible to learners and has been updated
for first teaching in 2018. It explains what your learners need to know, how they will be
assessed, and the relationship between assessment objectives and the examination papers.
Use the specimen papers and mark schemes to familiarise yourself with the overall assessment
approach.
Scheme of Work
This medium term teaching plan provides ideas about how to construct and deliver Cambridge
International AS & A Level Mathematics. The syllabus has been broken down into teaching
units according to the examination papers, with suggested teaching activities and learning
resources to use in the classroom. This document is a guide offering advice, tips and ideas to
help you plan your lessons.
Example Candidate Responses (ECR)

ECR booklets provide illustrative examples of candidate work at different levels of performance.
Each answer will be annotated with examiner comments on why an answer achieved the
awarded mark and any mistakes the candidate has made. The examiner explains how the
candidate could have improved their answer, and lists common mistakes made in this question
across all candidates who sat the exam. This resource helps you to explain and demonstrate
the required examination standard to your learners. ECR booklets will be available after first
examination of the revised syllabus.
Specimen Paper Answers

This booklet exemplifies high-standard examination responses for the new Cambridge
International AS & A Level Mathematics syllabus and assessment structure. Use this resource
to develop your learners’ understanding of what is required to gain marks based on answers
written in the style of an AS & A Level candidate.
Learner Guide
Learners can use this guide to develop an understanding of the Cambridge course and how
it will be assessed, helping to increase their confidence. The guide describes each exam
paper and includes useful advice to help your learners understand what to expect in the
Cambridge exams, and how to plan their study and revision programme. There is also an
example candidate response for one question to help demonstrate the Cambridge standard.
For all Cambridge International AS & A Level subjects we also recommend our Learner Guide:
Planning, Reflection, Revision, which can be used in the classroom and for independent study.
The Learner Guide is available on both the public website and the School Support Hub.
Parallel teaching of A Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics

This useful document provides a suggested two-year plan for teaching Cambridge International
AS & A Level Mathematics 9709 in parallel with Cambridge International AS & A Level
Further Mathematics 9231. If you are teaching both courses, we suggest that you use this plan
alongside the schemes of work for each syllabus. This resource is available on the School
Support Hub.
Other support
School Support Hub hosts an active Mathematics forum, which is a great way for you to keep up to date with your subject. Ask
questions, get the latest information and connect with other Cambridge teachers around the world. You can also upload your own
resources for the community to use, and access resources shared by others.
Our public website contains a list of endorsed textbooks and other suggested resources for Cambridge International AS & A
Level Mathematics. Many of our syllabuses are supported by a range of different endorsed textbooks to ensure that schools have
choice. Teachers are advised to choose the textbook that best suits their needs. There is information on the back of endorsed
textbooks about which examination series it was first produced for.
Endorsed resources go through a rigorous quality-assurance process to make sure they closely reflect the syllabus and are
appropriate for Cambridge schools worldwide. Resources may be endorsed for full syllabus coverage or endorsed to cover specific
sections, topics or approaches. Look for the specific ‘endorsed for’ logo on the resource.
