Mathematics

Course summary

In Mathematics you will learn predominately via a whole class interactive teaching style similar to that experienced at GCSE. There will be an increased opportunity to share in discussion and present solutions. You will be taught by two or three teachers, with one concentrating on the pure, one on mechanics and the other on the pure/statistics. The homework will be set frequently requiring a quick turn round to support learning. There will be regular end of topic tests throughout the year. Year 12 topics: > Pure topics: Algebraic Expressions, Quadratics, Equations and Inequalities, Graphs and Transformations, Straight line Graphs, Circles, Algebraic Methods, The Binomial expansion, Trigonometric ratios, Trigonometric identities and equations, Vectors, Differentiation, Integration, Exponentials and Logarithms > Statistics & Mechanics: Data Collection, Measures of Location and Spread, Representations of Data, Correlation, Probability, Statistical distributions, Hypothesis Testing. > Modelling in Mechanics, Constant Acceleration, Forces and Motion, Variable acceleration Year 13 topics: > Pure: Algebraic methods, Radians, Functions and Graphs, Sequences and Series, Binomial Expansion, Trigonometric Functions, Trigonometry and modelling, Parametric equations, Differentiation, Numerical methods, Integration, Vectors > Statistics & Mechanics: Regression Correlation and hypothesis testing, Conditional probability, The normal Distribution.
