This qualification is designed to consolidate and build on your mathematical understanding at GCSE, as well as develop your mathematical understanding and skills further in the application of mathematics to authentic problems. The objectives of the course: 1. Deepen competence in the selection and use of mathematical techniques used at GCSE and beyond 2. Develop confidence in representing and analysing authentic situations mathematically and applying mathematics to address related questions and issues 3. Build skills in mathematical thinking, reasoning and communication
Five grade 5s at GCSE including English and maths
Core Mathematics: assessment is by two exams, both 2 hours long (60 marks each. Equal weighting to final mark). Both exams will contain questions based on pre-release material that is given two months in advance. There will be a real life problem that needs to be addressed such as Income Tax and National Insurance payments. Paper 1: Quantitative Methods – financial mathematics, probability and risk, graph analysis, normal distribution. Paper 2: Critical Analysis – unseen problem solving, Fermi estimations, analysis and evaluation of data, mathematical modelling.
