Expectations of Independent Study Students will be expected to be extremely organised, organising work from different elements of the course assessments and revision. Students will be expected to complete independent study on top of set homework. Why is it interesting? Everything that happens in daily life is underpinned by maths. Maths uses its own language, made up of numbers, symbols and formulas, to explore the rules we need to measure or identify problems in careers ranging from nursing through to engineering. Studying maths helps us find patterns and structure in our lives. Practically, maths helps us put a price on things, create graphics, build websites, build skyscrapers and generally understand how things work or predict how they might change over time and under different conditions. Studying maths at A Level provides the building blocks to do this. What skills and knowledge will I develop by studying this subject? Studying Further Mathematics at A Level will present you with problems that you will need to analyse, construct logical arguments for and solve. You will develop your ability to think critically and communicate with others. You will need to manage your time and be able to work independently. Studying Further Mathematics at A Level will develop your resilience to think creatively and strategically This course would be suitable for students who have the following skills and interests: A Level Further Mathematics is suitable for students who have a keen interest in applying mathematical reasoning to solve problems. It would be ideal for students that enjoy problem solving, are strategic and logical. What career pathways are open to me if I study this subject? You will be able to combine Further Mathematics with any other subject; recent research shows that people with A Level Mathematics (any grade) earn, on average, 10% more than those without. Further Mathematics is essential for those wishing to study Mathematics and is ideal for those wishing to study Physics, Computer Science or Engineering at University.
There are two papers sat at AS Level: Paper 1 – Core Pure Mathematics is marked out of 80. Paper 2 – Further Statistics and Decision Mathematics is marked out of 80. There are four papers sat at A2 Level: Paper 1 – Core Pure Mathematics1 is marked out of 75. Paper 2 – Core Pure Mathematics 2 is marked out of 75. Paper 3 – Further Statistics is marked out of 75. Paper 4 – Decision Mathematics is marked out of 75.
