Mathematics is one of the most renowned subjects across the globe. Through numbers, symbols and formulas, we are able to explore the rules we need to measure or identify essential elements of the world we live in. In year 12 and 13, students study: • Pure math's: Proof, algebra, functions, graphs, coordinate geometry, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, calculus, numerical methods and vectors. • Statistics: statistical sampling, data representation and interpretation, probability, probability distributions and statistical hypothesis testing. • Mechanics: models and quantities, kinematics in one and two dimensions, projectiles, forces, Newton’s laws of motion and rigid bodies. How will I be taught? We will be helping students make links between various areas of Math's so that they can seek to apply their mathematical skills across pure math's, statistics and mechanics. Usage of a graphic calculator starts in Year 12 to visualize equations and problem-solve with it. The pace of the lesson will be fast. We cover around one chapter per week as such students take an increasing responsibility for their own learning and the evaluation of their own mathematical development. They have to spend at least 10 hours on their homework and revision per week. What degree courses does this lead to? -Mathematics is a “facilitating” subject. This means that they are among a list of A Level subjects which are asked for most frequently by universities. -Mathematics is compulsory for the following degree courses: Actuarial Science; Aeronautical Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Civil Engineering; Economics; Electrical/Electronic Engineering; Engineering (General); Mathematics; Mechanical Engineering; Physics; Statistics. -However, A Level Mathematics is listed as useful by most university degree choices such as Accountancy; Architecture; Biochemistry; Biology; Biomedical Sciences (including Medical Science); Business Studies; Chemistry; Computer Science; Dentistry; Geography; Law; Management Studies; Pharmacy; Philosophy; Physiotherapy and Psychology. What career opportunities does this open up? Studying Math's helps students develop skills in logical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making, which are valued by employers across many job sectors. Jobs directly related to a Mathematics degree include: Accountancy and Finance, Banking, Actuarial Careers, Statistician Careers, Academia and Research, Engineering, Meteorology, Teaching and lots more.
Minimum GCSE Grade 7 in Mathematics.
Paper 1: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics - 100 marks - 2 hours - 36.4% • Section A: Shorter questions with minimal reading and interpretation. • Section B: Longer questions and more problem solving. Paper 2: Pure Mathematics and Statistics - 100 marks - 2 hours - 36.4% • Section A: Shorter questions with minimal reading and interpretation. • Section B: Longer questions and more problem solving. • Some questions will be set on the pre-release data set Paper 3: Pure Mathematics and Comprehension - 75 marks - 2 hours - 27.3% • Section A: 60 marks on the pure core content. • Section B: 15 marks on a previously unseen comprehension passage based on the pure mathematics content of the specification.
