What will students be studying in Maths? Year 12 begin their two year journey through A-level Maths with a review of Higher Tier GCSE key skills in the Summer of Year 11. We provide students with a bridging programme and a set of Hegarty Maths links to essential skills for A-level to enable them to fill any gaps in their GCSE knowledge. We follow a programme designed to deliver the A-level Maths curriculum over two years, with a focus on building the skills and techniques essential for success as the year progresses. The topics and the times allocated to teaching them can be found on the Sixth Form pages of chsgmaths.com. What do we expect of the students in the classroom? Students will be expected to bring in their calculator to every lesson. It is essential that they have the Casio Class W12 FX-991EX calculator. They should actively listen in class, take notes and most importantly if there is a problem with any of the material that they ask for assistance. A-level Maths moves at pace, and each lesson builds on the last, so it is essential to make sure that they understand everything we cover in class. We are available after school for help and support if needed. What homework are they set? A-level Maths students will be expected to continue with their classwork at home for 1 hour for every hour they are in class. This will mainly focus on students completing exercises started in class, practising skills and problem-solving, or completing an online Section Test. What are the major assessments this year? Alongside the main school assessment calendar, we assess students at the end of each half-term. These assessments are in the student handbook and will be based on topics taught so far. These will build up a picture of each student’s performance and understanding of topics, and will help inform our predictions of how they will do in the final exam. At the end of Year 13 they will sit their final A-level examinations. Whom should I contact for further advice and information? Curriculum Leader of Maths, Mrs Foley: cfoley@carshaltongirls.org.uk
