Key Stage 3
Key Stage 3 Maths
Years 7 to 9 follow the national curriculum rather than an exam specification. There is no award at the end, which is exactly why it is easy to lose track of what has been covered.

How Fincho uses this
Fincho tracks the same areas the awarding body uses, so a mistake in a test is filed against the part of the specification it belongs to rather than against a subject. Practice is generated for the area that keeps going wrong, in the style and command words of this specification, and marked against its mark scheme.
These pages summarise what a specification covers and link to the awarding body's own document. They are not the specification, and the school decides which one your child sits.

The specification itself
The area names are the awarding body's own. What each one contains is in the specification above, and that is the document that counts.
