Maths (A Level)
Caroline Chisholm School
Course summary
Year 12 Students develop their algebra, coordinate geometry and trigonometry skills, building on those topics learnt at GCSE. Students are introduced to new calculus topics such as differentiation and integration alongside mathematical modelling and problem solving. Students will also be taught the compulsory Statistics and Mechanics work. Within Statistics we will cover hypothesis testing, probability and Normal Distribution whilst in Mechanics students will develop further their knowledge of motion time graphs and learn about problem solving using Newton’s laws. Year 13 Students continue to advance their core mathematical skills, learning how to tackle complex integration and differentiation problems both methodically and numerically, as well as being introduced to logarithms, and using these to model exponential growth. Within Statistics students will explore the interpretation and analysis of data and investigate the relationship between two sets of data and testing hypotheses to various levels of significance. Mechanics will further develop their understanding and introduce them to the fundamental ideas of modelling particles and how they act under gravity, as a projectile, when connected to other particles, and the effect that friction has on calculations.
