A Level of Mathematics is linear in structure and has 100% compulsory core content. Overarching themes The subject content is divided into three areas: Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. The teaching of A Level Mathematics should develop students’ knowledge and skills in three overarching themes: • Mathematical argument, language and proof • Mathematical problem solving • Mathematical modelling Use of technology It is assumed that learners will have access to appropriate technology when studying this course such as mathematical and statistical graphing tools and spreadsheets. The primary use of technology at this level is to offload computation and visualization, to enable learners to investigate and generalize from patterns. Learners are not expected to be familiar with any particular software, but they are expected to be able to use their calculator for any function it can perform when appropriate. Year 12 Year 12 Mathematics consolidates and develops GCSE Mathematics and supports the transition to higher education or employment in any of the many disciplines that make use of quantitative analysis, including those involving calculus. Year 13 A-Level Mathematics builds from GCSE Mathematics and introduces calculus and its applications. It emphasizes how mathematical ideas are interconnected and how mathematics can be applied to model situations mathematically using algebra and other representations, to help make sense of data, to understand the physical world and to solve problems in a variety of contexts, including social sciences and business. It prepares students for further study and employment in a wide range of disciplines involving the use of mathematics.
All Post-16 courses require students to have achieved five 9-4 GCSE grades. Grade 4 GCSE in English Literature or Language. Grade 7 in Maths. (A strong grade 6 in Maths may be considered after discussions with staff).
A Level Mathematics will be assessed by three exams at the end of Year 13.
