Course Summary
Course Details
Studying Core Mathematics helps students to develop their problem solving skills and can support other A Level studies, particularly Biology, Economics and Geography. It develops valuable quantitative skills needed for many degree courses, such as Psychology, business-related courses, sports and social sciences, which do not specifically require A Level Mathematics.
How will it be delivered and assessed?
There will be two examinations of 1 hour 30 minutes each, covering topics such as: Analysis of Data; Estimation; Mathematics for Personal Finance; Critical Analysis; Normal Distribution; Probabilities; Correlation; and Regression.
Entry requirements
Pass in GCSE Mathematics at Grade 5 or higher.
You will be expected to purchase the Casio ClassWiz fx-991EX calculator to support you in your studies. These currently retail at about £25 and the Mathematics department will organise a bulk order at the start of Year 12.
