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. Students will be able to extend their range of mathematics skills and techniques obtained in GCSE, and use these to solve challenging problems and generalise mathematically through algebraic concepts and modelling, as well as be aware of the relevance of mathematics to the world of work and to situations in society in general. Further Mathematicians have the opportunity to study A Level concepts in more depth, as well as studying mathematical concepts that are often continued in Higher ducation. Students who study Further Mathematicians will have the opportunity to be entered for an AS level exam in Year 12.
Two Grade 6 and four Grade 5 at GCSE level Grade 7 or more at GCSE Higher Mathematics (Grade 8 or more is preferable)
End of Year 12 (AS-Level Qualification) All of the assessments from the AS-Level Mathematics course plus, Two AS-Level Papers [each worth a 50% of the qualification] – Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics (1 hour 40 minutes) – Paper 2: Further Statistics and Further Mechanics (1 hour 40 minutes) End of Year 13 (A-Level Qualification) All of the assessments from the AS-Level Mathematics course plus, Four A-Level Papers [each worth a 25% of the qualification] – Paper 1: Core Pure Mathematics (1 hour 30 minutes) – Paper 2: Core Pure Mathematics (1 hour 30 minutes) – Paper 3: Further Statistics 1 (1 hour 30 minutes) – Paper 4: Further Mechanics 1 (1 hour 30 minutes)
