Mathematics

Course summary

The teaching is shared between two teachers and pupils should expect up to two hours of work per teacher per week, to be completed outside of the lessons. Tasks may be set to consolidate understanding from the lessons, to provide the opportunity to conduct independent research or to make links between the current subject matter and material covered much earlier in the course. The teacher will formally assess one piece of work per week. Pupils will develop their ability to construct rigorous mathematical arguments and learn how to form mathematical proofs. The ability to use clear mathematical notation and language will be developed in some depth, as will the ability to solve complex problems. Pupils should develop a deep appreciation of the applicability of mathematics to areas such as mechanics and statistics and learn various different techniques to describe real-life phenomena Mathematically.
