Qualification Aims and Objectives The aims and objectives of this qualification are to enable students to: • understand mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence, fosters enjoyment and provides a strong foundation for progress to further study • extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques • understand mathematics as a connected body of knowledge, and how different areas of mathematics relate to each other • apply mathematics in other fields of study and be aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general • use their mathematical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions in solving problems both within pure mathematics and in a variety of contexts, and communicate the mathematical rationale for these decisions clearly • use their mathematical skills and techniques to solve challenging problems that require them to decide on the solution strategy • represent situations mathematically and understand the relationship between problems in context and mathematical models that may be applied to solve them • read and comprehend mathematical arguments including justifications of methods and formulae and communicate their understanding • read and comprehend articles concerning applications of mathematics and communicate their understanding • use technology such as calculators and computers effectively and recognise when their use may be inappropriate • take increasing responsibility for their own learning and the evaluation of their own mathematical development
In order to study Mathematics in the Sixth Form, students will need to achieve at least a Grade 7 in the GCSE Mathematics exam.
