Maths is for everyone. It is diverse, engaging and essential in equipping students with the right skills to reach their future destination, whatever that may be. At AQA, we design qualifications and support to enable students to engage with, explore, enjoy and succeed in maths. By putting students at the heart of everything we do, our aim is to support teachers to shape what success in maths looks like for every student. Our question papers are designed with students in mind. We’re committed to ensuring that students are settled early in our exams and have the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of maths, to ensure they achieve the results they deserve. Mathematics is, inherently, a sequential subject. There is a progression of material through all levels at which the subject is studied. It is assumed that students will already have confidence and competence in the content presented in standard type within the GCSE mathematics criteria. Students will make use of elements of this content when addressing problems within this Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies specification but this is not explicitly set out in subject content. This Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies specification aims to build on the knowledge, understanding and skills established in GCSE mathematics. • Knowledge and use of the formula y = mx + c . It is also expected that students will be able to find the gradient of a straight line connecting two different points. • It is expected that spreadsheets and tables will be used throughout the teaching of this Level 3 Certificate Mathematical Studies specification. Spreadsheet formulae will include: • “=A1+A2+A3” to sum values in cells • “=2*B3” to multiply a value in a given cell • “=SUM(A1:A10)” • Knowledge and use of the formulae for the circumference and the area of circle. • Knowledge and use of the formulae for the perimeter of 2-D shapes, their areas and for calculating fractional areas of circles and shapes. • Knowledge and use of the mathematical content of analysis of data and maths for personal finance elements. • The ability to calculate surface areas of spheres, cones, pyramids and composite solids, including the application of the concepts of similarity including lengths in similar figures and Pythagoras’ theorem applied to 2-D and 3-D figures. • Students will make use of elements of the content from paper 1 when addressing problems within each paper 2.
