| 1.5 I can justifify the outcomes to problems that are new to me |
Level 7 Unit 1 - Mathematical processes and applications
1. The learner will explore mathematical models, including those represented in digital systems, demonstrating an understanding of mathematical form and its relationship with empirical data |
| 1.1 I can find invariance in one aspect of a problem when another changes |
| 1.2 I can set up a mathematical model in a digital systems |

| 1.7 I can identify the difference between mathematical explanation and experimental evidence |
Level 8 Unit 1 - Mathematical processes and applications
1. The learner will consider the way they employ mathematics to solve problems and communicate ideas and as a result make further progress with their own learning |
| 1.1 I can develop and follow alternative approaches |

| 1.4 I can use mathematical symbols precisely and consistently to communicate meaning to different audiences in a sustained way throughout my work |
| 1.5 I can examine generalisations or solutions reached in an activity and make further progress in the activity as a result |
| 1.6 I can comment constructively on the reasoning and logic, the process employed and the results obtained |
Level 9 Exceptional Performance Unit 1 - Mathematical processes and applications
1. The learner will reflect critically on their work in order to learn further and apply their wide range of mathematical knowledge to unfamiliar contexts using mathematical language and symbols |
