Mathematics A Level is a highly respected qualification by employers and further education establishments. It supports the study of other A Levels and is excellent preparation for a wide range of university courses. Employers require skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, communication, and resilience. All of which are skills developed on the course. Year 12 Maths students are following the AS Mathematics specification. All students follow the same course and will study Pure Maths, Statistics, and Mechanics. Year 13 Maths students are following the A-level Mathematics specification. All students follow the same course and will study Pure Maths, Statistics, and Mechanics. At the end of Year 13, they sit exams in A-level Mathematics and the content will cover all areas of the two-year course. The structure is as follows: Paper 1 Pure mathematics 2 hours. Paper 2 Pure mathematics 2 hours. Paper 3 Statistics and Mechanics 2 hours.
4-5 GCSEs grade 4 (C) or above including English.
Paper 1: Pure Mathematics 1 Paper 2: Pure Mathematics 2 Each paper is: 2-hour written examination 33.33% of the qualification 100 marks ● Topic 1 – Proof ● Topic 2 – Algebra and functions ● Topic 3 – Coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane ● Topic 4 – Sequences and series ● Topic 5 – Trigonometry ● Topic 6 – Exponentials and logarithms ● Topic 7 – Differentiation ● Topic 8 – Integration ● Topic 9 – Numerical methods ● Topic 10 – Vectors ● Paper 1 and Paper 2 may contain questions on any topics from the Pure Mathematics content. ● Students must answer all questions. ● Calculators can be used in the assessment Paper 3: Statistics and Mechanics 2-hour written examination 33.33% of the qualification 100 marks Section A: Statistics ● Topic 1 – Statistical sampling ● Topic 2 – Data presentation and interpretation ● Topic 3 – Probability ● Topic 4 – Statistical distributions ● Topic 5 – Statistical hypothesis testing Section B: Mechanics ● Topic 6 – Quantities and units in mechanics ● Topic 7 – Kinematics ● Topic 8 – Forces and Newton’s laws ● Topic 9 – Moments ● Paper 3 will contain questions on topics from the Statistics content in Section A and Mechanics content in Section B. ● Students must answer all questions. ● Calculators can be used in the assessment.
