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. Objectives of the course: • Deepen competence in the selection and use of mathematical techniques used at GCSE and beyond • Develop confidence in representing and analyzing authentic situations mathematically and applying mathematics to address related questions and issues • Build skills in mathematical thinking, reasoning, and communication
GCSE grade 4 in maths and English
Assessment is by two exams, both 2 hours long (72 marks each, equal weighting to final mark). Both exams will contain questions based on pre-released 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
