Course content: Pure Mathematics (Y12/Y13) Algebraic expressions, quadratics, equations and inequalities, graphs and transformations, straight line graphs, circles, algebraic methods, the binomial expansion, trigonometric ratios, trigonometric identities and equations, vectors, differentiation, integration, exponentials and logarithms Algebraic methods, functions and graphs, sequences and series, binomial expansion, radians, trigonometric functions, trigonometry and modelling, parametric equations, differentiation, numerical methods, integration, vectors Statistics (Y12/Y13) Data collection, measures of location and spread, representations of data, correlation, probability, statistical distributions, hypothesis testing Regression, correlation and hypothesis testing, conditional probability, the normal distribution Mechanics (Y12/Y13) Modelling in mechanics, constant acceleration, forces and motion, variable acceleration Moments, forces and friction, projectiles, applications of forces, further kinematics Why choose this course? • To understand mathematics and mathematical processes to promote confidence, foster enjoyment and a provide foundation for further study. The study of mathematics will extend your range of mathematical skills and techniques and help you understand how different areas of mathematics are connected. • You will learn how to make logical and reasonable decisions when solving problems, in familiar or unfamiliar contexts, and communicate your solutions clearly. You will develop your ability to use diagrams and graphs to aid solution to problems. • This course can complement study in many different subjects at A-level or university level. You will apply mathematics in other fields of study including statistics and mechanics. The statistics side to the course will develop useful skills for those doing humanities or disciplines including medicine, geography, biology and environmental sciences. Mechanics has strong links and will complement study in physics, design and technology and engineering. • A qualification in mathematics is regarded very highly by all universities whatever course is applied for.
A minimum of 5 GCSE passes (including both English and Mathematics) at Grade 4 or higher. Grade 7 in GCSE Maths. Students with a high Grade 6 in GCSE mathematics will be considered should they pass Gunnersbury’s internal assessment for Grade 6 applicants.
There are three externally assessed exam papers at A-Level. Component 1 – Pure Mathematics 1, 2 hours, 100 marks. Component 2 – Pure Mathematics 2, 2 hours, 100 marks. Component 3 – Statistics and Mechanics, 2 hours, 100 marks
