What is Further Maths? Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It provides a stimulating experience for those who enjoy the subject. Course Structure: Further Mathematics has become an increasingly popular subject for keen and gifted mathematicians. Students wishing to apply for the very best universities, especially for courses in Mathematics and Engineering, will have a greater chance of gaining a good offer if they have studied Further Mathematics. Once at university, students also find that they cope much better with these courses having had some prior experience of the extension topics. The Further Maths A Level introduces Pure Maths topics beyond those covered by AS/A2 Mathematics, including Complex Numbers, Matrices, Proof, Polar Coordinates and Differential Equations. There are also Applied modules available, which extend students’ knowledge of the statistics and mechanics modules studied in A Level Mathematics. The option modules will be chosen at the discretion of the classroom teacher and Key Stage 5 Maths Coordinator.
Grade 8 or above in GCSE Maths. Students must also be studying A-Level maths The minimum entry requirement for A Level courses is at least five GCSE passes at grade 6 or higher. In addition, some courses will have specific entry requirements.
The A2 Further Maths Assessment: There are four exams at the end of year 13: Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics 1 (1 hour and 30 minute examination) Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics 2 (1 hour and 30 minute examination) Paper 3: FM option 1 (Further Mechanics 1) Paper 4: FM option 2 (Decision 1) FM Options are decided based on the strengths of the teachers available not student-based preference. All exams take place at the end of year 13 based upon successful completion of complete maths A-level syllabus in year 12.
