AA ualifications Functional Mathematics Level 2 4368 Mark scheme 4368 November 2014 Version/Stage: Final V1.0
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the stardisation events which all associates participate in is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The stardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students responses to questions that every associate understs applies it in the same crect way. As preparation f stardisation each associate analyses a number of students scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed legislated f. If, after the stardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Assessment Writer. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a wking document, in many cases further developed exped on the basis of students reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

Glossary f Mark Schemes Examinations are marked to award positive achievement. Marks are awarded f demonstrating the following interrelated process skills. Representing Selecting the mathematics infmation to model a situation. R.1 Cidates recognise that a situation has aspects that can be represented using mathematics. R.2 Cidates make an initial model of a situation using suitable fms of representation. R.3 Cidates decide on the methods, operations tools, including ICT, to use in a situation. R.4 Cidates select the mathematical infmation to use. Analysing Processing using mathematics. A.1 Cidates use appropriate mathematical procedures. A.2 Cidates examine patterns relationships. A.3 Cidates change values assumptions adjust relationships to see the effects on answers in models. A.4 Cidates find results solutions. Interpreting Interpreting communicating the results of the analysis. I.1 Cidates interpret results solutions. I.2 Cidates draw conclusions in light of situations. I.3 Cidates consider the appropriateness accuracy of results conclusions. I.4 Cidates choose appropriate language fms of presentation to communicate results solutions. 3 of 17
In particular, individual marks are mapped onto the following skills stards. Representing Rb Making sense of the situations representing them. A learner can: Underst routine non-routine problems in familiar unfamiliar contexts situations. Identify the situation problems identify the mathematical methods needed to solve them. Choose from a range of mathematics to find solutions. Analysing Ab Processing using the mathematics. A learner can: Apply a range of mathematics to find solutions. Use appropriate checking procedures evaluate their effectiveness at each stage. Interpreting Interpreting communicating the results of the analysis. A learner can: Interpret communicate solutions to multistage practical problems in familiar unfamiliar contexts situations. Draw conclusions provide mathematical justifications. To facilitate marking, the following categies are used: M A B ft SC oe Method marks are awarded f a crect method which could lead to a crect answer. Accuracy marks are awarded when following on from a crect method. It is not necessary to always see the method. This can be implied. Marks awarded independent of method. Follow through marks. Marks awarded following a mistake in an earlier step. Special case. Marks awarded within the scheme f a common misinterpretation which has some mathematical wth. Or equivalent. Accept answers that are equivalent. 1 eg, accept 0.5 as well as 2 4 of 17

4(b) Distances (1 st 4 th marks) There are up to 2 marks (, ) awarded f crect distances in a crect plan. If neither can be awarded, give 1 mark () f any crect distance seen. Time calculation (2 nd mark) One M mark is awarded f crectly wking out the time to walk from the Station to the Dungeon. If this mark is not awarded, give f any crect calculation of walking time seen including total walking time. Adding 2.5 hours (3 rd mark) One mark () is awarded f crectly wking out the time to leave the Dungeon after a 2.5 h stay. If this mark is not awarded, give an extra if their leaving time is wked out crectly at the 2 nd 3 rd attraction. Walking times This table shows the walking times in minutes between attractions.

F B2 must show both trends use them to make a prediction appropriate conclusion. A conclusion of No possibly is acceptable if the trends predictions are crect but must be qualified by a statement relating to the possibility that the trends might not continue.

He should become fitter than Dave about week 10. Example 5 (Unjustified numerical description of trend valid prediction) Sces only Sam s F is increasing twice as fast as Dave s. He will be fitter than Dave after week 11. 16 of 17
