Maths in Context

Course summary

Mathematics in Context is a course intended for students who are keen to extend their GCSE Maths skills for a future study or work, but are not planning on taking Mathematics at A level. If you are planning to study subjects such as Science, Geography, Business, Economics or Psychology at A level, or a vocational qualification, or are planning to take an apprenticeship or move into employment, Mathematics in Context will be useful to help refine and develop your maths skills. Mathematics in Context is different from GCSE Maths. During your studies, you will look at how to use and apply Maths in many different situations. You will read articles that involve interpreting data and mathematical information, all from relevant and interesting sources. At the end of the two-year course, you will be awarded a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics in Context, similar to an AS. The qualification is also recognised in UCAS points.
