Year 12 Mathematics is split into three main areas; pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics. Pure mathematics – Students develop advanced algebraic skills, including manipulation, solving equations, graphs, proof and binomial expansions. They also study coordinate geometry, calculus, vectors and logarithms. Mechanics – Topics covered include mechanical modeling, Newton’s laws of motion, friction and how particles move and interact. Statistics – Students work on probability theory and are introduced to advanced statistical techniques. Year 13 Students build upon and extend their learning from Year 12 in all areas of pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics.
Five Grade 9 to 4 grades or equivalent, including a 4 or better in both English language and maths. Grade 7 or above in GCSE Maths.
Students are assessed by three examinations at the end of Year 13: Pure mathematics - two 2 hour examinations (67%). Applied mathematics - statistics and mechanics - one 2-hour examination (33%).
