Course summary

If you are considering Mathematics at A Level, you will learn to: • develop your understanding of Mathematics and mathematical processes in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment • develop abilities to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs • extend your range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems • develop an understanding of coherence and progression in Mathematics and of how different areas of Mathematics can be connected • recognise how a situation may be represented mathematically and understand the relationship between ‘real-world’ problems and standard and other mathematical models and how these can be refined and improved Problem Solving Skills: Many university courses require pupils to work independently completing problem solving tasks. As part of the A-Level curriculum, pupils will be practicing these skills by completing mini projects. Master Classes: For pupils who are aiming to study Mathematics at the top Universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, it would be recommended to attend master classes run by Cambridge. Each master class includes: • Minimum of two taster lectures delivered by leading academic members of the University • The opportunity to discuss and ask questions • An introduction to the Admission process • The opportunity to hear about life as a Cambridge student. Where this course can lead: Quantitative skills are required in a wide range of occupations and activities, embracing not only the mathematical and physical sciences but also the social sciences, the humanities and the creative arts. A Level Mathematics is a required A Level for studies in most STEM subjects at university or degree apprenticeship level. Maths is also a highly desirable subject to employers in the majority of fields of employment.
