The Level 3 Certificate in Core Mathematics A (MEI - H868) gives pupils with at least a Grade 4 at GCSE, the mathematical skills to tackle problems in a variety of authentic situations. It enables you to strengthen the mathematical knowledge and skills which you have learnt at GCSE so that you can apply them to the problems which you will encounter in further study, life and employment. It also attracts UCAS points, equivalent to an AS Level. You will be encouraged to tackle problems in realistic contexts that are relevant to your other Sixth Form subjects and future degree or career choices. Topics covered include modelling, statistics, finance, working with exponentials, working and gradients, geometry and measures, risk, estimation, problem solving, communicating solutions and use of technology. Many roles in today’s workplace require high levels of budget management and problem-solving skills; Core Mathematics will be a useful tool in equipping you with these skills.
4 in Mathematics.
This qualification is examined in two 2-hour examinations at the end of Year 12. Paper 1: Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning - Pupils use problem-solving cycles in modelling, statistics and financial mathematics in a variety of contexts, and check the outcomes of their calculations. They also use appropriate technology to work with quantitative information. Paper 2: Critical maths - Starting from a problem to solve, a quantitative statement to evaluate or a question that has mathematics underlying it, pupils use a number of skills and processes in engaging in their reasoning. They are expected to think flexibly and use their mathematical and statistical knowledge to make logical and reasoned decisions. This qualification is examined in two 2 hour examinations at the end of Year 12. It is sometimes possible for a student to study this qualification in Year 13.
