Mathematics

Course summary

This qualification was new in 2017. It is linear which means that students sit all their exams at the end of the course. A-level specifications in mathematics require students to demonstrate the overarching knowledge and skills contained in sections OT1, OT2, and OT3. These must be applied along with associated mathematical thinking and understanding across the whole of the detailed content. Overarching Themes: OT1: Mathematical argument, language, and proof OT2: Mathematical problem solving OT3: Mathematical modeling What will I learn at A-Level? Paper 1: Pure Maths only - Proof, Algebra, and functions Coordinate Geometry, Sequences and Series Trigonometry, Exponentials and Logarithms, Differentiation, Integration and Numerical Methods. Paper 2: Pure Maths and Mechanics - Any content from Paper 1 and content from Vectors, Quantities, and Units in Mechanics, Kinematics, Forces, and Newton’s Laws and Moments. Paper 3: Pure Maths and Statistics - Any content from Paper 1 and content from: Statistical Sampling, Data Presentation, and Interpretation, Probability, Statistical Distributions, and Statistical Hypothesis Testing.
