Both A level and AS Mathematics have a 2:1 ratio of pure to applied content. Pure content focus on algebra whereas the applied content looks at mechanics and statistics. Whilst studying mathematics students will: • use mathematical skills and knowledge to solve problems • develop abilities to reason logically, to generalise and to construct proofs • simplify real life situations with the use of mathematical models • use mathematics as an effective means of communication • develop skills needed to use technology such as calculators effectively and to be aware of their limitations • take increasing responsibility for their own learning and the evaluation of their own mathematical development
- GCSE Grade 6 or above in Mathematics, having completed the full Higher GCSE course and 70% or above in the Head Start assessment. - The minimum general requirements for Sixth Form entry are a minimum of 5 GCSE Grade 4s including English and Maths.
The specification followed does not have a coursework element and is fully assessed by a written examination paper taken in June in the following structure: AS Assessment Paper 1: Pure Mathematics – 2 hour exam (100 marks) Paper 2: Statistics and Mechanics – 1 hour 15 minute exam (60 marks) A-Level Assessment Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 – 2 hours (100 marks) Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 – 2 hours (100 marks) Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics – 2 hours (100 marks)
