Core mathematics is predominantly higher GCSE maths with some extension into A Level. There is a heavy emphasis on personal finance and the “real world” application of maths problem-solving skills. Level 3 Mathematical Studies is split into finance, analysis and data in Paper 1 and critical path and risk analysis in paper 2. In the first module you will learn how to use statistical techniques, interpret data and draw conclusions to solve problems including those involving personal finance, and forming models to help them. In the second module, they use the knowledge learnt to be critical of the data and models given, and use critical path analysis to solve more complex problems. What you will do: · Study statistics and finance— building and extending GCSE knowledge · Apply this real life situations involving personal finance, tax, national insurance and data analysis · Develop our analytical thinking.
