You will study Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics over the two years with an option to sit AS Mathematics at the end of year 12 (although this will not count towards your final A level grade). The A level examination will be taken at the end of year 13 and consists of two Pure Mathematics papers and one for the Statistics and Mechanics. The papers are equally weighted. Pure Mathematics will extend students’ existing skills in Algebra and Trigonometry and introduce and develop Calculus, Proof and Vectors. Students will learn about statistical sampling, data presentation and interpretation, probability, statistical distributions and hypothesis testing, alongside kinematics, forces and Newton’s laws and moments. The aim of the course is to develop understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence; develops abilities to reason logically and extends the range of mathematical skills and techniques and uses them in more difficult, unstructured problems providing a strong foundation for progress to further study.
