Mathematics is viewed favorably as a qualification for entry to many courses in higher education and opens the door to thousands of well-paid careers. During this course, you will study Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics. Mechanics will particularly benefit those of you also studying physics whilst statistics is particularly beneficial if you are studying Economics, Geography, Biology, or Psychology. Unit 1 Pure Mathematics 1 - Algebra and functions; coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane; sequences and series; differentiation; integration; exponentials and logarithms; proof; trigonometry; vectors. Unit 2 Pure Mathematics 2 - Algebra and functions; coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane; sequences and series; differentiation; integration; exponentials and logarithms; proof; trigonometry; vectors; numerical methods. Unit 3 Mechanics and Statistics - Quantities and units in mechanics; vectors in mechanics; kinematics; forces; Newton's laws; moments. Statistical sampling; representation and summary of data; probability; statistical distributions; statistical hypothesis testing. There will be work examples and theory in lessons, followed by weekly assessments and practice exam questions. The department runs a drop-in class after school once a week for students to get help with their work as well as a lunchtime intervention class each week. A-level Mathematics is viewed favorably as a qualification for entry to many courses in higher education and opens the door to thousands of well-paid careers.
Two GCSE subjects at Grade 6 and four GCSE subjects at Grade 5 grades. Grade 7 in GCSE Mathematics.
There will be 3 exams: two 2-hour papers in Pure Mathematics and one 2-hour paper in Mechanics. Calculators may be used.
