The A-Level Mathematics specification is a Linear course where students will be sitting the test at the end of Year 13. The course is both rigorous and demanding, designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop their mathematical understanding and skills across the 3 strands of Mathematics; Pure, Mechanics and Statistics. Throughout the specification, students will be encouraged to: • Develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and an ability to apply these in a variety of contexts • Use appropriate technology to deepen their mathematical understanding and extend the range of problems they can solve • Use the pre-release data in statistics to enable students to develop an understanding of working with real data to solve real problems. Although the content is separated into 3 strands, students are expected to explore the connections between the Pure and applied strands. Mathematics is a challenging course however, it is also rewarding. In order to get the most out of this course, you must ensure that you are applying yourself fully in lessons by completing all exercises, marking them and making corrections regularly. As well as this it is important that you are dedicating at least 5-6 hours a week on independent study; reviewing and practising exam questions for the topics you have covered in the lesson.
• A minimum of seven grade 5s in full course GCSE subjects. No vocational subjects allowed. • Math grade 7 • At least a grade 7 at GCSE
Pure & Mechanics: 2 hours 100 marks Section A: short answer questions Section B: longer questions Pure & Statistics: 2 hours 100 marks Section A: short answer questions Section B: longer questions Pure & Comprehension: 2 hours 75 marks Includes mathematical comprehension in the assessment, enabling students to use maths in a variety of contexts in higher education and further employment.
