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.
