Further Mathematics A Level
Students study Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Mechanics. Pure Mathematics develops the ideas met at GCSE, such as Algebra, Graphs, and Trigonometry. Mechanics discusses forces that act on bodies and any resultant motions with the help of modelling. Statistics is the study of data. Students must be competent in manipulating algebraic equations and should
enjoy interpreting graphs.
Five GCSEs grade 9-4 and a satisfactory school reference.Including English Language at grade 5 and maths at grade 7
as a minimum.
This Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced Subsidiary GCE in Further Mathematics builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding set out in the entire GCSE subject content for mathematics and the subject content for the Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced GCE Mathematics qualifications. Assessments will be designed to reward students for demonstrating the ability to provide responses that draw together different areas of their knowledge, skills, and understanding from across the full course of study for the AS level Further Mathematics qualification and also from across the A level Mathematics qualification. Problem-solving, proof, and mathematical modeling will be assessed in Further Mathematics in the context of the wider knowledge, which students taking AS Further Mathematics will have studied.
Students can progress to higher education qualifications with a high level of demand for mathematics. Typically students pursue careers in mathematics, computing, engineering, finance, etc.
This course is assessed by examinations.
