The A level course takes your ability to answer mathematical problems at GCSE and extend them into real world modelling by providing you with even more core mathematics skills. Through independent learning, classroom discussion and challenging concepts, we will develop your thinking and mathematical skills in a way that builds a deep understanding, preparing you for University. The key skills which underpin the study of maths at Key Stage 5 are to develop fluency, the ability to reason and to apply mathematical knowledge to problem solving. The topic areas covered in this qualification are split into three main sections: Pure, Mechanics and Statistics. The content within these sections are outline below: Pure Mathematics 1 Quadratics, inequalities, graphs & transformations, circles, polynomial division, proof, binomial expansion, trigonometric identities and equations, vectors, differentiation, integration, exponentials & logarithms Pure Mathematics 2 Proof, partial fractions, sequences & series, binomial expansion, radians, trigonometric functions, parametric equations, differentiation, integration, numerical methods and vectors Statistics and Mechanics Measures of location and spread, representations of data, regression & correlation, conditional probability, statistical distributions, hypothesis testing, normal distribution, forces and motion, variable acceleration, moments, projectiles and applications of forces
You should be on track to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 4 - 9, including a grade 6 Maths. (Any student that is working at a grade 7, 8 or 9 and then performed badly in the exams for a justifiable reason, could still be considered).
The assessment structure is 100% exam. There are three exams, equally weighted, each 2 hours with calculators allowed. At this point in time, Edexcel have currently chosen to put Pure, Statistics and Mechanics into all three papers.
