Following the recent A Level reforms, the course is now fully prescribed. This means that all students will study exactly the same content. Two thirds of the course will consist of Pure Mathematics, one sixth will consist of Mechanics and one sixth will consist of Statistics. Pure Mathematics focusses on the methods and techniques that underpin the subject. Some of this will be extension of ideas that were explored at IGCSE, while other ideas will be entirely new. Topics include: Algebra Trigonometry Calculus Vectors Proof Mechanics is the branch of the subject that deals with the physical world around us. Essentially we look at how (and why) things move and we use our Mathematics to make predictions about how they will behave. Topics include: Force Newton’s Laws Kinematics Moments In Statistics we try to make some sense of the vast quantities of data that pervade the modern world. We look at how data is collected, analysed and presented. We also look at the techniques which statisticians use to make informed decisions based upon the evidence that they have available to them. Topics include: Sampling Data presentation and interpretation Probability Hypothesis testing
Students must achieve a minimum of an 8 grade in Mathematics GCSE in order to study the subject at A Level.
There will be three two-hour exams at the end of the Upper Sixth.
