Struggling with a math problem

The independent advisory committee on mathematics education (ACME) has developed a model for level 3 mathematics, ready for the review of UK qualifications in 2013

A major review of qualifications  in the UK is planned for 2013, with resulting changes expected to be implemented in 2016. With this in mind, the independent advisory committee on mathematics education (ACME) is working on a project to develop a model for level 3 mathematics that will, among other aims: better prepare all post-16 learners for FE, HE, employment and life; and raise the proportion of 16-19-year olds not only studying mathematics but also other numerate degrees, and ensure that these students are better prepared for such study. (ACME was set up by the Royal Society and the Joint Mathematical Council of the UK in 2002.)
