Course summary

Studying Mathematics and Further Mathematics: (i) Enables students to acquire knowledge and skills with confidence, satisfaction and enjoyment. (ii) Gives students experience of developing resourcefulness in solving problems. (iii) Enables students to apply mathematics and recognize its significance to other disciplines. (iv)Develops students’ understanding of mathematical reasoning. (v) Provides students with a foundation for the further study of mathematics. A Level Mathematics A Level Mathematics is a linear course consisting of both Pure and Applied content. All students will be required to study both Statistics and Mechanics as outlined below. Core Content A Level Mathematics • Differentiation • Integration • Numerical methods • Vectors • Exponentials logarithms • Probability • Statistical sampling • Quantities and units in mechanics • Kinematics • Forces and Newton’s laws • Moments • Statistical hypothesis testing • Statistical distributions • Proof • Algebra and functions • Coordinate geometry • Sequences and series • Trigonometry • Data presentation and interpretation Future Prospects Mathematics is a multi-faceted subject and has many transferable skills. Math's is listed as either essential or desirable for many degree courses including: mathematical courses (math's, engineering), science-based courses (biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, natural sciences), medical courses (medicine, veterinary sciences, dentistry, biomedical sciences, physiotherapy), business courses (economics, business, management), courses that require reasoning or logic (philosophy, computer science) and courses that use statistics (geography, psychology).

Entry requirements

Students with at least five GCSE passes at grades 5-9, including a grade 5 in English Language and a grade 4 in Mathematics, will be accepted onto an A Level study program. Specific Entry Requirements: Grade 7 at GCSE Mathematics is required to take A Level Mathematics.

How you'll be assessed

Students will be assessed by external examination papers which occur at the end of Year 13. All examinations allow the use of a calculator and we expect all students to use the Casio FX-GGIEX Glasswiz Model. Students must be able to also demonstrate the following overarching knowledge and skills: mathematical argument, language and proof; mathematical problem solving; and mathematical modelling.
