Over 5,000 years ago Mathematics evolved from basic numeracy into a new language to precisely describe the universe around us and as a tool for mankind to make its mark on the planet. From the Great Pyramids of Giza to the Apollo Space Program, Mathematics has been at the heart of humanities most impressive achievements. In our modern society it plays an essential role in Economics, Engineering, Science & Technology. In the past 500 years, Mathematics has extended past the confines of physical reality and now represents an exciting frontier for the realms of human thought. A-level Further Mathematics is designed to broaden and deepen the mathematical knowledge and skills developed when studying A-level Mathematics. It provides a stimulating experience for those who enjoy the subject as it delves into the complexities of reasoning and logic. Topics such as matrices and complex numbers are introduced for the first time, while others, such as algebra, calculus and trigonometry are studied in greater depth. At the Kimberley 6th Form two additional modules are taken; discrete mathematics, (the theory behind computation), and advanced mechanics (the application of advanced mathematical modelling). Students planning for a degree in areas such as mathematics, physics, engineering or economics will benefit greatly from taking A-level Further Mathematics. To take A-level Further Mathematics you must achieve at least a grade 7 in GCSE mathematics and take A-level Mathematics. Students will be expected to dedicate their time to gaining complete fluency in mathematical manipulation as well as logical reasoning. As outlined above, further mathematics is for those who wish to take mathematics, or a course based in mathematics. It also helps for applications to Oxbridge Universities for these courses.
To enter any Level 3 course you will need 5 Grade 4 – 9s (A* - C) GCSE Math's Grade 7.
For the end of first year examination, students will be expected to pass Paper 1 & Paper 2 detailed as follows; Paper 1 Content: Sections B, C, D, E, F, G, H, L. Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Weighting: 50% of first year grade Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multistep problems. Paper 2 Content: Sections MA, MB, MC, MD, DA, DB, DC, DD, DE, DF, DG. Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Weighting: 50% of first year grade Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multistep problems. For the A-level Further Mathematics qualification in June 2024 students will sit Paper 1, Paper 2 & Paper 3 detailed as follows; Paper 1 Content: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L. Duration: 2 hours Weighting: 33⅓ % of A Level Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems. Paper 2 Content: Sections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L. Duration: 2 hours Weighting: 33⅓ % of A Level Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems. Paper 3 Content: MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, DA, DB, DC, DD, DE, DF, DG. Duration: 2 hours Weighting: 33⅓ % of A Level Questions: A mix of questions from short, single-mark questions to multi-step problems.
