As part of our new 'Made-for-Wales' GCSE Mathematics and Numeracy (Double Award), we are welcoming suggestions鈥痜or鈥痭ew contexts鈥痶hat can be utilised within future assessments.

Through crowdsourcing, we are looking for stakeholders from across Wales to submit ideas for contexts which will be considered as a basis for future exam questions.
