Brief Outline
The course is aimed at students who have an
interest in developing their mathematical
skills further. It develops the Pure
Mathematics met in the Core Units of A2
Mathematics. Students also study both
Statistics and Mechanics to AS/A2 level.
Methods of Teaching
All lesson plans, together with any
presentation materials used, are available
to students on the intranet. Teachers use a
variety of teaching and learning approaches
including teacher explanation, problem
solving investigations, demonstrations and
animations.

What We Expect From You
A high
level of mathematical competency is
essential,. Students will need to be well
motivated, since the course requires a high
level of independent study; as a result it
is advisable to achieve an A at GCSE, before
commencing the A level course.
Future Prospects
A
qualification in Further Mathematics, AS or
A2, is a good addition for students wishing
to go on to further study, especially in
Mathematics, Engineering or Sciences.
