Mathematics and Further Mathematics is a more challenging double A level, designed for students with a love of, and talent for mathematics. It is a comprehensive and in-depth study of mathematical concepts, covering a wide range of topics comprising algebra, calculus, statistics, and mechanics. This course is an excellent opportunity to enhance your problem-solving skills, add depth to your prior GCSE knowledge and discover new mathematical concepts. You should choose maths if you enjoy being challenged, if you feel the reward from persevering until you find a solution and you want to further develop your logical thinking skills. Students study the full A level Mathematics course in year 12 and take the exam at the end of the year. The biggest component of the course is pure mathematics, developing your skills in algebra is key to being able to access the vast majority of the content including trigonometry and new topics such as calculus. You’ll learn the application of statistical and probability models which allow for analysis in real world contexts. We also look at the use of technology when analysing large sets of data. Finally, you’ll study mechanics, the mathematics of forces and motion, which will build on prior knowledge from GCSE Physics.
GCSE grade 8 in Mathematics. To continue into the second year a grade B is required in Mathematics A level in Year 12.
There are three exams at the end of each year, each exam is two hours long. Year 12 Paper 1 – Pure Mathematics Paper 2 – Pure Mathematics and Mechanics Paper 3 – Pure Mathematics and Statistics Year 13 Paper 1 – Pure Mathematics Paper 2 – Pure Mathematics Paper 3 – Mechanics and Statistics
