GCSE Mathematics

GCSE Mathematics includes practical development of your skills in the five main topics: Number, Algebra, Geometry, Data Handling and Probability. * Maths is about more than numbers. It encourages you to think logically and apply the principles you learn to everyday situations. * You will start with the basics, making calculations and solving problems before moving on to number systems, formulae, graphs, functions and algebraic equations. * Geometry will be explored, and you will discover ways to calculate lengths, areas and volumes of different shapes.

You will be assessed in two final exams; Non-Calculator and Calculator, both 105 minutes in duration and completed approximately four days apart. The scores from each are aggregated to produce your final grade.

Achieving a grade C in Mathematics can help you achieve your personal or career goals, including further study at Level 3, university, employment or promotion.
