Mathematics is a popular choice for both Arts and Science students. It is split into three main topics: • PURE MATHEMATICS, which develops GCSE work in algebra, trigonometry and geometry, and introduces new topics including calculus; • MECHANICS, which overlaps with work done in Physics, but is entirely theoretical and considers how, why and when things move; • STATISTICS, which extends previous knowledge of data handling and probability.
Students who enjoy studying Mathematics at A Level are those who have found GCSE higher level fairly easy (preferably gaining a grade 7 or higher).
The students will study all three elements of the course, sitting three papers in June of the Upper 6, each being worth 1/3 of the final A Level mark: • Paper 1: Pure Mathematics (2 hours) • Paper 2: Pure Mathematics and Statistics (2 hours) • Paper 3: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics (2 hours) Mathematics and Further Mathematics: For those students studying Mathematics and Further Mathematics, they will complete the A-Level Mathematics course as above, and in addition, they will be studying all three disciplines, sitting four papers in June of the Upper 6, each is worth 25% of the final A Level Further Mathematics mark: • Paper 1: Pure Mathematics (90 minutes) • Paper 2: Pure Mathematics (90 minutes) • Paper 3: Statistics (90 minutes) • Paper 4: Mechanics (90 minutes)
