Core Maths allows you to continue your studies and experiences of mathematics beyond GCSE and gain a qualification equivalent to an AS Level in UCAS points. It explores real world applications of maths, including financial calculations such as income tax, inflation, mortgages and loans. It also develops the increasingly important skill of critical analysis of data. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES/PROGRESSION Core Maths is recognised and highly regarded by universities (and may give you a reduced offer). It fits well with subjects such as Biology, Geography, Psychology and Business Studies and Economics. It develops mathematical modelling, evaluating and reasoning skills and develops skills in communication, selection, use and interpretation of maths.
Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics.
The course is assessed by two examinations, each 1 hour 30 minutes and worth 60 marks. Paper 1 cover topics on personal finance, analysis of data and estimation techniques. We study Option A in Paper 2 which covers statistical techniques and involves the critical analysis of given data and models including spreadsheets and tabular data. Both exams allow the use of a calculator. Preliminary material is released in March. The qualification is graded from A – E.
