Core Mathematics Exam Board: AQA Course Content: Maths is for everyone. It is diverse, engaging and essential in equipping students with the right skills to reach their future destination, whatever that may be. The Core Maths qualification is designed to support and enable students to engage with, explore, enjoy and succeed in maths. Studying Core Maths helps students develop their quantitative and problem-solving skills. This is valuable preparation for the quantitative skills they will need for many degree courses, particularly subjects such as psychology, geography, business-related courses, sports and social sciences, and natural science courses that do not require AS/A Mathematics. The Core Maths content includes: interpreting solutions in the context of the problem understanding sources of error and bias when problem-solving working with data understanding risk and probability understanding variation in statistics using exponential functions to model growth and decay percentage change interpretation of graphs financial maths using standard units Fermi estimation the Normal distribution correlation, knowing it does not imply causation making and evaluating assumptions when
Entry Requirements: Core Maths is intended for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at grade 5 or better, but who have not chosen to study AS or A level Mathematics. It can be taken alongside A levels or other qualifications, including vocational courses.
Assessment: Paper 1 - 90 minutes Students will be expected to develop and demonstrate confidence and competence in the understanding and application of mathematical modelling in the solution of problems related to the use of statistical techniques. Paper 2 - 90 minutes Students will be expected to draw on the mathematical content of paper 1. Students will be expected to develop and demonstrate confidence and competence in the understanding and application of mathematical modelling in the solution of problems related to decision making and the planning of projects.
