• EXAM BOARD: AQA • ENTRY CRITERIA: 5 IN GCSE MATHEMATICS • HEAD: MRS A DATTANI ADATTANI1@HAYDONSCHOOL.COM There is limited new mathematical con- tent from maths at GCSE, with the emphasis lying heavily on recognising the role of mathematics in the real world. With a significant emphasis on statistical techniques, students often select the course to support the mathematical elements in their other sub- jects such as A levels in Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business, Economics, Sociology or BTEC Applied Science. Study focuses on recognising real life applications of mathematical skills and shared discussions of how to interpret given data. Students explore possible strategies in critical analysis of the information we read in the media. The course should enable you to develop your mathematical model- ling, evaluating and reasoning skills. Confidence in personal finance and taxation forms an important aspect of the course and students are encouraged to relate this to their own personal experience and future plans. ASSESSMENT Syllabus no: AQA Level 3 Mathematical Studies, Core Maths (1350) The course is assessed by two 1.5 hour exams, each worth 50% of the qualification, taken at the end of Year 12. There is no coursework. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Students going into a huge variety of fields, both at university and in the workplace benefit from having continued their mathematical studies beyond GCSE. Universities have welcomed this qualification as good preparation for degrees studying the biological and social sciences. Employers value the improved mathematical application and problem solving skills that the course promotes. REQUIREMENTS Students can be successful in the Core Maths course having studied GCSE at either higher or foundation tier. A grade 5 at GCSE is an important indicator that the student will successfully cope with the demands of the course. COMBINATIONS The Core maths qualification works well along- side both A levels in Biology, Psychology, Geography, Business, Economics, Sociology and level 3 BTEC qualifications in applied science or engineering.
