Mathematical Studies

Course summary

Core Maths provides opportunities to explore mathematical concepts within real world applications. Within the course, students will acquire fundamental skills within personal finance and critical thinking. In addition, students will study Mathematical and Statistical units which support the learning of many other Wren 6 and Post-16 subjects, specifically Psychology, Sciences, Geography and Business Studies. Core Maths builds upon the knowledge learned through GCSE learning. The course specifically relies on familiarity of numerical and statistical information and application. The course covers: statistics and algebra, probability and estimation, data analysis and modelling, sequences and growth, financial planning and management, problem solving approaches and techniques as well as developing the use of technology and spreadsheets. Most importantly all these concepts and techniques are designed to provide students with the skills and confidence to tackle everyday demands they are likely to encounter in their working lives.
