Enrichment - Maths Support

Course summary

This bespoke Mathematics module is designed to support students with the mathematical elements of their A Level courses. In particular there will be statistical elements that support Biology, Geography and Psychology. Opportunity is also provided to support other A Levels with capacity to adapt the course as required. The course will mainly focus on the statistical elements of Biology, Geography and Psychology. It will include the further development of bivariate data, correlation and regression including Spearman’s Rank; the review of measures of central tendency; an introduction to probability distributions – in particular the Normal distribution. Students will develop skills in sampling data, estimating population sizes and effective use of scientific calculators. Away from the statistical elements students will review graph plotting skills, learn about Tax and National Insurance and mortgages and loans – including student loans.
