Mathematical Studies is an enrichment course offered at Chauncy through Years 12 and 13. Taught over two timetabled lessons a week, the course builds upon the fundamentals of GCSE Maths whilst introducing level 3 content. Examples of these include; personal finance, interest rates, mortgages, probabilities using normal distribution and critical analysis of data presented in the media. The course is a Level 3 qualification, equivalent to an AS Level in UCAS points. Many universities and large employers now only consider applicants who have continued to study Mathematics post-GCSE. What will you study? 1.) Analysis of Data – How to conduct an effective and fair mathematical investigation and how to process and analyse the results. 2.) Maths for Personal Finance – Tax, National Insurance, student loans, mortgages, credit and interest rates including APR and AER. 3.) Estimation – Converting real-life problems into mathematical models to create solutions to complex problems. 4.) Critical Analysis of Data – Ensures that students do not take mathematical evidence at face value. Teaches students the ability to read between the lines and critically analyse mathematical data presented in a variety of contexts and formats. 5.) Using Normal Distributions – Estimating and working out probabilities in situations that involve the normal distribution. Making estimates from sample data. 6.) Correlation and Regression – Analysing the strength of a relationship between two variables.
The Level 3 Mathematical Studies qualification is for: - Students with a grade of 4 or above in GCSE Mathematics. - Students that want to continue post-16 mathematics but do not wish to take A or AS Level Mathematics. - Students will learn and apply real-world maths skills throughout the course. The following is a list of A-level courses that have a direct overlap with the Mathematical Studies curriculum: Physics, Sociology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, Business Studies, Economics, and Computer Science. GCSE, OCRN or BTEC equivalent exam entry requirement of 5+ 9 – 4 grades (A* – C in the legacy system).
