Further Mathematics

Assessment

Further Mathematics is a challenging subject, requiring a willingness to work independently. Homework is set after each lesson and is an integral part of the course. It gives practice in the application of theory, tests understanding, allows time for background reading, and for learning necessary facts and formulae. Regular assessment of written work gives students valuable feedback on methods, presentation and progress. Further Mathematics students have the opportunity to engage with the Advanced Maths Support Programme, take part in national maths competitions and receive support towards any university exams e.g. STEP, MAT.
