Why study A Level Mathematics? Mathematics is not only a beautiful subject in its own right but also underpins many branches of learning. Just as languages provide the building blocks and rules we need to communicate, mathematics uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols and formule, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify essential problems. Studying mathematics helps us find patterns and structure in our lives. Practically, mathematics helps us put a price on things, create graphics, build websites, build skyscrapers and generally understand how things work or predict how they might change over time and under different conditions. What will I be studying? A Level Mathematics B (MEI) is a linear qualification. The content falls under three areas: 1. Pure Mathematics: Proof, algebra, graphs, sequences, trigonometry, logarithms, calculus and vectors. 2. Mechanics: Kinematics, motion under gravity, working with forces including friction, Newton’s laws and simple moments. 3. Statistics: Working with data from a sample to make inferences about a population, probability calculations, using binomial and normal distributions as models and statistical hypothesis testing. How will I be studying? You will have two Mathematics teachers; one will teach pure mathematics and statistics, the other will teach pure mathematics and mechanics. You can expect your lessons to make full use of technology that will help to deepen your mathematical understanding and extend the range of problems that you are able to solve. You will also be making good use of the INTEGRAL website, supporting your learning of mathematics both in and outside of the classroom. Regular assessments and good communication with your teacher will ensure that you maintain good progress in this subject. How will A Level Mathematics help me in the future? Mathematics is one of the best subjects to develop your analytical, research and problem-solving skills. Not only will studying mathematics help give you the knowledge to tackle scientific, mechanical, coding and abstract problems, it will also help you develop logic to tackle everyday issues like planning projects, managing budgets and even debating effectively.
What qualifications are needed to follow this course? Six GCSEs/IGCSEs at grade 6 including English. In addition, a grade 7 in Mathematics.
How is the course assessed? There will be three examination papers, each of which is 2 hours long, at the end of the course. Paper 1: Pure Mathematics and Mechanics Paper 2: Pure Mathematics and Statistics Paper 3: Pure Mathematics and Comprehension
