Introduction
We have mapped Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics (0862) to the national curriculum for England key stage 3 (KS3) mathematics programme of study. This
mapping document shows where Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics (0862) is covered in the national curriculum for England KS3 mathematics programme of study.
The Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics Curriculum Framework provides a comprehensive set of progressive learning objectives for mathematics. The learning
objectives detail what learners should know or what they should be able to do in mathematics in each of Stages 7 to 9 of lower secondary education. They provide a structure
for teaching and learning and a reference against which learners' understanding can be checked. Each learning objective from the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics
Curriculum Framework has a unique code, e.g. 7Sp.01. These codes appear in the Cambridge Teacher Guide, Schemes of Work and other published resources which can
be found at https://lowersecondary.cambridgeinternational.org. Ask the Cambridge coordinator or exams officer in your school if you do not already have a log-in for this
support site.

Summary
Overview
Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics curriculum
Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics is taught over three years (Stages 7 to 9) and is designed for ages 11 to 14. Each stage in the Cambridge Lower
Secondary Mathematics curriculum is designed to support a clear progression of mathematics knowledge and skills within and across the lower secondary stages.
Learners will develop over time their mathematical skills in Number, Algebra, Geometry and Measure, and Statistics and Probability while thinking and working
mathematically.
We have introduced Thinking and Working Mathematically as a key part of the Cambridge mathematics curriculum to assist learners in considering the processes that
are involved when solving problems. Thinking and Working Mathematically connects all the strands and learning objectives of the mathematics curriculum to support
learners in developing a collection of mathematical strategies.
Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics and the national curriculum for England KS3 mathematics programme of study cover the same expected learner ages:

It is possible to integrate the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics curriculum with the national curriculum for England KS3 mathematics programme of study as
there is significant overlap of content and the pedagogical approaches of both curricula are similar.
To integrate the two curricula, you will need to consider the amount of time you have available to teach mathematics and if more time can be provided.
• If more time is provided, it may be possible to cover the overlapping content and the unique content of both curricula.
• You would need additional planning time to integrate Cambridge’s Thinking and Working Mathematically.
• If more time is not available, you will need to make decisions about what unique parts of both curricula you will prioritise and which learning objectives can be
blended to minimise the time requirements. These decisions may be affected by other subjects you teach and whether you currently use the Cambridge Upper
Secondary programme (IGCSE and A Level).
Some of the content unique to Cambridge in Stage 9 is an introduction to IGCSE™ content and could be removed to provide more time for other aspects of both
curricula to be covered. Please cross-check your requirements with the relevant IGCSE syllabuses and make decisions suitable for your school.
Some aspects of the national curriculum for England KS3 mathematics programme of study are covered in other parts of the Cambridge Pathway. For example, some
is covered in the Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum and some may be covered within the IGCSE Mathematics syllabuses.

We recommend that you read and consider the guidance document Implementing the Curriculum with Cambridge and at least one member of staff attends the
Introductory training for Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics.
In addition, we provide a progression grid that is useful for identifying progression of all content across all stages. This will support you to ensure that progression of the
Cambridge curriculum can be maintained when moving content between stages/years.
