Further Mathematics is designed for the student who has studied Mathematics to a high standard at GCSE and intends to study a degree programme which may contain a high mathematical content, either as a pure subject or within such disciplines such as physics, engineering and technology. Students will be expected to develop their understanding of the process of mathematical modelling through the study of mathematical methods and to use these skills to: • Abstract from a real situation • Solve problems • Interpret and communicate results
Circumstances vary from student to student but you will need to have achieved a minimum of 5 GCSE passes, at grade 6, including English and Maths, however we would be willing to consider a grade 5 in some subjects, at the discretion of the Academy. This course is open to both year 12 and year 13 students. The aim of this course is to build on the knowledge, understanding and skills established at GCSE. It is important that students have at least a grade 8 in Mathematics GCSE or a grade A at AS mathematics. In addition to this, it will require a great deal of work and time over the 1 year course to succeed. An aptitude for algebra is vital at this level.
3 exams at the end of the year (no coursework) AS Level Paper 1 – Pure Core Paper 2 – Statistics Paper 3 – Mechanics
