Probability scale from 0 to 1 (Core/Extended)

Real numbers and notation (\(\mathbb{N}\), \(\mathbb{Z}\), \(\mathbb{Q}\), \(\mathbb{R}\)) (Core/Extended)
Set notation for 'is an element of', 'is not an element of', 'is a subset of', 'proper subset', 'the empty set' (Core)
Set notation for 'proper subsets' (Extended)
Add/subtract/multiply/divide algebraic fractions (Core)

The teaching time has not changed
The Details of the assessment section includes:
- The lists of formulas that are provided in the Papers 1 to 4 examinations
- Mathematical conventions
The marks and durations for Papers 1 and 3 (Core) and for Papers 2 and 4 (Extended) have changed so they are the same for the calculator and non-calculator papers in each tier
The marks, durations and weightings are the same for both papers in a tier
Examination Papers 1 to 4 will:
- Include a mixture of short, structured and unstructured questions
- Have questions that are the same standard as in the existing assessment
- Still include a list of formulas on page 2 but the basic Core formulas have been included in the Extended list of formulas
