It’s an interesting and rewarding course that broadens the mathematical skills you learned at GCSE. You’ll be introduced to exciting new areas of pure mathematics and explore new applications of mathematics such as statistics and mechanics. The knowledge and skills you gain are transferable to other subjects and are valued in almost every employment sector. There is a national shortage of young people entering training and employment with mathematical qualifications. You will study three areas of maths: Pure Maths has a real focus on developing your algebraic skills, using these specifically in the areas of coordinate geometry, trigonometry, differentiation, integration, and vectors. This is two-thirds of the course. Statistics involves probability, bivariate data (taking scatter graphs further), and an introduction to the binomial and normal distributions. This is one-sixth of the course. Mechanics will see you apply some of the pure skills in problems involving the motion of particles including projectiles, variable force acceleration, and momentum. This is one-sixth of the course.
A minimum of 5GCSEs (or equivalent) ‘good’ passes or better including either GCSE Maths or English. A grade 6 in mathematics at higher tier.
100% examined. Paper 1: Written Exam 2 hours in length, testing any of the pure content. Paper 2: Written exam 2 hours in length, testing and the pure content and all of the statistics. Paper 3: Written exam 2 hours in length, testing any of the pure content and all of the mechanics.
