• EXAM BOARD: EDEXCEL • ENTRY CRITERIA: GRADE 7 IN GCSE MATHEMATICS. GRADE 8 OR ABOVE IS RECOMMENDED. • HEAD: MRS A DATTANI ADATTANI1@HAYDONSCHOOL.COM A Level Mathematics is a stimulating and challenging course. Studying Mathematics will: develop key employability skills such as problem solving, logical reasoning, communication and resilience; increase knowledge and understanding of mathematical techniques and their applications; support the study of other A level subjects; provide excel- lent preparation for a wide range of university courses; lead to a versatile qualification that is well respected by employers and higher education. CURRICULUM Year 1 Pure Mathematics: Algebraic Expressions; Quadratic Functions; Equations and Inequalities; Graphs and Transformations; Straight-line Graphs; Circles; Algebraic Division, Factor Theorem and Proof; The Binomial Expansion; Trigonometric Ratios and Graphs; Trigonometric Identities and Equations; Vectors; Differentiation; Integration; Exponential Functions and Natural Logarithms. Statistics: Data Collection; Measures of Location and Spread; Representations of Data; Correlation; Probability; Probability Distributions; Hypothesis Testing. Mechanics: Modelling in Mechanics; Constant Acceleration; Forces and Motions; Variable Acceleration. Year 2 Pure: Algebraic Methods; Functions and Graphs; Sequences and Series; Binomial Expansion; Radians; Trigonometric Functions; Trigonometry and Modelling; Parametric Equations; Differentiation; Integration. Statistics: Regression, Correlation and Hypothesis Testing; Conditional Probability; The Normal Distribution. Mechanics: Moments; Forces and Friction; Projectiles; Application of Forces; Further Kinematics. ASSESSMENT All assessment will take place at the end of the course. Exam questions may draw on the con- tent of the whole A level. Three Papers worth 100 marks each, two of which are on Pure Mathematics and the third paper is a mixture of Mechanics and Statistics. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES *Actuarial analyst *Chartered accountant *Chartered certified accountant *Data analyst *Data scientist *Investment analyst *Research scientist (Mathematics) *Secondary school teacher *Statistician WE ARE PROUD That our students with an A level in Mathematics have gone on to study *Chemical Engineering at UCL *Mechanical Engineering at UCL *Architecture at University of Ports- mouth *Actuarial Science at LSE *Product De- sign Engineering at Loughborough University *Computing Science at University of Glasgow *Economics at University of Surrey *Medicine at the University of Nottingham. A number of our alumni are studying Aeronautics and Astronautics at University of Southampton.
