Certificate in Mathematical Studies complements and supports core subject choices as well as providing life and employability skills. The qualification that Certificate in Mathematical Studies follows was developed by the government in response to concerns from universities and employers that students who didn’t continue with mathematics after their GCSE examinations were not prepared for continuing education or employment. The focus is on applied mathematics - there is no algebra or trigonometry. Everything is put into context and applied to reallife examples. Certificate in Mathematical Studies could be described as numerical critical thinking and the lessons are designed to equip students to make good decisions whenever numbers or data are involved. Topics include: • Financial Mathematics • Modelling • Probabilities • Collecting and Analysing Data • Finding Patterns in Data
• Grade 4 or higher at GCSE. • Suitable for those not studying Mathematics or Statistics at A Level and compulsory for those studying: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Geography, Geology, Physics, and Psychology,
100% Examination.
