Mathematical Studies, also known as Core Maths, is a course for those students who want to keep up their valuable maths skills but are not planning to take A-level mathematics. It is a one-year course leading to A Level 3 qualification (similar to an AS Level), with Grades A to E. Assessment is by final examination at the end of Year 12. Mathematical Studies has been designed to maintain and develop real-life skills. What we study is not purely theoretical or abstract; it is mathematics that can be applied on a day-to-day basis in work, study, or life and includes a financial maths element. It will also help with some A Level subjects, especially since many A level specifications have an increased mathematical element, in particular with Science, Geography, Business Studies, Psychology, and Economics. We require that students taking these A Levels without Maths A Level should study Mathematical Studies. It will also help students to hit the ground running on university courses requiring mathematical insight. The problem-solving focus of Mathematical Studies also equips students with relevant skills that will be highly regarded by employers from many different sectors.
Students require at least Grade 4 and above in Mathematics at GCSE to study this course.
Unit 1: Data analysis, personal finance, estimation, and mathematical models Level 3, 1 hours 30 minutes, 50% Unit 2: Statistical techniques Level 3, 1 hour 30 minutes, 50%
