Core Mathematics is a new course designed for post-16 students who wish to continue studying Mathematics, but not at A Level. The new Core Mathematics qualification will help you retain, deepen and extend your knowledge of mathematics so that you are better prepared for higher education and employment; it is also particularly useful if your other college qualifications have a high level of mathematical content. Core Mathematics will help you understand and apply clear, mathematical reasoning to real-life problems, analyze and interpret data in a variety of contexts, and confidently deal with everyday financial mathematics. You will develop the skills to analyze data, deal with financial calculations, model real-life situations and criticize existing models. You will learn how to model situations mathematically, including the use of Statistics, as well as develop your problem-solving and reasoning skills. Ultimately, Core Mathematics will prepare you to use the mathematics that arises in everyday life.
