Further Mathematics, which counts as two entire A Levels, should only be considered by very committed mathematicians who both love mathematics and enjoy solving mathematical problems. Further Mathematics is a demanding course, but one that is highly regarded by universities and employers, especially if you are considering a STEM-based course at an academic institution. For some courses, at some of the top institutions, Further Mathematics is an essential or highly desirable option, so it is recommended that you do some research into your future career options before selecting or discounting Further Mathematics. In Further Mathematics students will take the whole A Level course outlined above in the first year. In Upper Sixth, they will continue with an advanced Pure course, which will cover matrices, complex numbers and advanced calculus, and will also pursue an advanced course in Mechanics or Statistics. Beyond the classroom, Further Mathematics classes have the opportunity to go on trips to the Velodrome, to investigate circular motion and also the Golf Driving Range to look at projectiles, air resistance and spin motion. Advanced Pure: The topics covered are: • Complex Numbers • Matrices • Advanced Calculus • Advanced Trigonometry Advanced Statistics The topics covered are: • Poisson Distributions • Advanced Probability and Hypothesis Testing Advanced Mechanics The topics covered are: • Work, Energy and Power • Elasticity and momentum Each set will be taught by four teachers for a total of 16 periods per week. As with all courses, there is a need to work outside the confines of the classroom and the ability to practise and develop classroom learning independently is essential. Extensive homework is set on a weekly basis and there are regular tests to assess your understanding. Help is always available outside the timetabled lessons.
In general, a 7 at GCSE is the minimum grade you will need to achieve in a subject to be able to study it at Emanuel at A level. Additionally, if you wish to study Mathematics or Physics at A level you will need at least an 8 at GCSE, and those studying Physics at A level must also be studying A level Mathematics. In addition, we require the average grade criteria to be met. This standard indicates that a pupil will be able to study independently, and can successfully access the very much more challenging material presented by the A-level courses. Further Mathematics is a demanding course for very committed mathematicians, and students considering this option should take advice from their mathematics teachers and the Head of Department. You would need a grade of 9 at GCSE to be successful in Further Mathematics, and (if possible) to have studied the AQA FSMQ Further Mathematics course.
In addition to the three exam papers that will be sat for A Level Mathematics, there are an additional four equally weighted Further Mathematics papers. Three of these papers are based on the Pure content and the fourth paper is either an optional Advanced Mechanics or Statistics module. All seven papers are sat at the end of Year 13.
