Both AS and A-level Further Mathematics have a 50:50 split between compulsory and optional elements. The Further Mathematics qualifications are structured to allow the best range of opportunities for students. The depth of study is clearly greater than that required for A-level Mathematics. In addition to the modelling and interpretative aspects of the subject, there is an emphasis on the structures and techniques, the ability to develop mathematical arguments, make logical deductions and manipulate mathematical expressions. This course introduces key concepts and ideas central to Mathematics - e.g. complex numbers, hyperbolic functions, matrices - and allows you to study in more depth topics such as differential equations, series and calculus techniques whilst gaining further insight into the applied side of Mathematics. The course is particularly suitable for those who enjoy their Mathematics and wish to embrace the challenges it offers to extend them fully. Anyone wishing to study Mathematics further on leaving school is strongly advised to take this course.
If we are then able to offer a place, please note that this is conditional upon your daughter reaching the minimum entry requirements for entry into our Sixth Form, namely: • at least six grade 7’s • a minimum of a grade 7 in both Maths and English GCSE • a grade 7 or 8 in the subjects to be taken at A-level Students will always be considered on their individual merits. Girls wishing to study Mathematics in the Sixth Form are expected to have a good GCSE pass (grade 7 or above). If you wish to take Further Mathematics, you will normally be expected to have gained a grade 8 at GCSE.
The A-level Further Mathematics qualification follows a four-paper model. Paper 1: Further Pure Mathematics 1 (1.5 hours) Paper 2: Further Pure Mathematics 2 (1.5 hours) Paper 3: Further Mathematics Option 1 (1.5 hours) Paper 4: Further Mathematics Option 2 (1.5 hours)
