The study of Mathematics increases knowledge and awareness of mathematical techniques and their applications. It also develops key employability skills such as problem-solving, communication, logical reasoning and resilience. It is excellent preparation for a wide range of university courses and supports the study of other A Levels e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Psychology, Geography, Computing, Business and Economics. The A Level Maths covers three different areas of Mathematics: Pure (66%), Statistics (17%) and Mechanics (17%). • Pure Mathematics covers the methods and techniques which underpin the study of all other areas of mathematics, such as, proof, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and vectors, enabling us to solve real-world problems. • The Statistics component enables us to reach conclusions from data in order to make informed decisions to help plan for the future and includes statistical analysis, hypothesis testing and probability. • Mechanics allows us to model the world around us; the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. It is particularly useful for careers in physics and engineering. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES/PROGRESSION The applications of Mathematics to career opportunities are wide ranging.
Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
The course is assessed at the end of the second year. There are three examinations, each 2 hours long. Two papers cover the Pure content and the third paper covers Statistics and Mechanics. Calculators may be used in all examinations. The specification is designed to encourage the appropriate use of graphical calculators and computers as tools by which teaching and learning of Mathematics may be enhanced.
