Subject content at A level Mathematics is split into three main areas, Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics. These modules are all initially studied during Year 12 and are delivered through a series of units focusing on building new concepts and ideas step by step as well as allowing regular opportunities for consolidation before learning. These skills are then extended to further study during Year 13. A level of Math significantly contributes to pupils' Cultural Capital development through the interconnection of Mathematical ideas and concepts with a focus on how Mathematics can be applied to model situations in the real world. Problem-solving is used in a variety of contexts with pupils reasoning and justifying their Mathematical ideas. We aim to prepare all pupils for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of Mathematics. Year 12 Term 1 • Problem-solving - Proof • Surds • Probability • Quadratic Functions • Trigonometry • Equations and Inequalities • Graphs – translations, stretches • Polynomials • Co-ordinate geometry • Binomial expansion • Differentiation – first principles, problem-solving Term-2 • Exponentials - graphs • Integration – indefinite, definite, • maximisation/minimisation • Vectors • Data collection • Data processing, representation, and interpretation • Kinematics • Forces and Newton’s • Laws of motion Term-3 • Binomial distribution • Hypothesis testing • Variable acceleration – use of differentiation, use of integration • Functions • Differentiation (Chain rule, product rule, quotient rule) • Trigonometry (Radians) Year 13 Term-1 • Review - Differentiation (Chain/product/quotient) Sequences and series • Trigonometry – reciprocal functions, equations, and identities • Parametric equations – cartesian, sketching • Trigonometry – Equations and identities, using radians • Further algebra - Vectors • Trigonometric identities – compound angle, double angle • Numerical methods – Newton R, Trapezium Rule • Further differentiation – Exponential, logs Term-2 • Integration – substitution, finding areas, other functions, by parts • Differential equations – first order, separating variables • Kinematics • Forces • Newton’s Laws of Motion • Moments of forces • Projectiles • Probability • Statistical distributions – Binomial, discrete variable, normal distributions Term-3 • Hypothesis Testing • A model for friction
Minimum of 5 x 9 - 4 at GCSE and average grade of Grade 4 or above across all subjects. GCSE grade 6 or above in Maths in Higher Paper.
Summative Assessment • Three summative assessment points per year – 1 per term. • Each summative assessment will be standardized across the subject. • Summative assessments will be moderated within and across departments. • Summative assessment will test students’ progress through the curriculum and identify any knowledge gaps.
