The A Level Mathematics course consists of approximately two thirds pure maths and one third application. These subjects will encourage candidates to: • Develop their understanding in a way that promotes confidence and fosters enjoyment. • Develop abilities to reason logically and recognise incorrect reasoning, to generalise and to construct mathematical proofs. • Extend their range of skills and techniques and use them in more difficult, unstructured problems. • Understand how mathematical modelling can be used to interpret real world problems. • Use mathematics as an effective means of communication. • Read and comprehend mathematical arguments and articles concerning applications of mathematics. • Acquire the skills needed to use technology such as calculators and computers effectively. • Develop an awareness of the relevance of mathematics to other fields of study, to the world of work and to society in general.
Take increasing responsibility for their own learning. Students embarking on A Level Mathematics are expected to have covered all the material in the GCSE Mathematics Higher Tier and to have achieved at least a Grade 7.
