Mathematics is an academic subject held in high regard. For some students, it is a chance to finally meet a challenge within their Mathematical education. Many of our Sixth Form students opt for Mathematics making it very popular, with more than three quarters of our AS Mathematics students continuing to A Level. The course provides a broad and widely applicable base of mathematical knowledge, including rigorous treatment of calculus and proof alongside statistics and mechanics, preparing learners for a wide range of destinations in Higher Education and employment. Pure Mathematics develops topics such as algebra, trigonometry and geometry but new topics such as differentiation and integration are also covered. Mechanics looks mainly at the motion of objects and how they respond to forces acting upon them. Statistics looks at data handling, analysis, presentation and probability. The full A level course is examined through 3 papers with equal weighting. ‘Pure Mathematics’, ‘Pure Mathematics and Statistics’ and ‘Pure Mathematics and Mechanics’. These papers cover all topics taught during the 2 years of Sixth Form and will also include use of a pre-release data set for Statistics.
Students should have confidently completed the Higher GCSE Tier examination, with a grade 7 as a minimum requirement for entry onto the Mathematics AS Level course at SGS.
