For any student who shows a keen interest and a strong understanding of Mathematics, Further Mathematics would make an excellent choice. It takes all the Mathematics studied previously to a higher level; not just making the topics harder but also introducing new and exciting ideas. Students studying Further Mathematics will get to experience one of the true beauties of the subject; the relationships between all aspects of Mathematics. As students get more and more engrossed in the subject, learning more complex aspects, they will begin to see the true scope of what Mathematics is capable of. We are offering the Cambridge International Level 3 Pre-U Certificate in Further Mathematics. This qualification is favoured by Universities and was developed by Cambridge to better prepare students for further study. Cambridge states the following as the four main aims of this course: • to support independent and self-directed learning • to encourage learners to think laterally, critically and creatively • to acquire good problem-solving skills • to promote comprehensive understanding of the subject through depth and rigour This is a linear course and both assessments will be taken at the end of Year 13. The majority of the content will be taught after completing the Pre-U Mathematics syllabus. To take Pre-U Further Mathematics you must choose to study Pre-U Mathematics. WHSB usually also offer the following enrichment for Sixth Form mathematicians: STEP/MAT club, Project Euler, UKMT Senior Team Mathematics Challenge, Architecture Day, talks from visiting mathematicians, visits to London Universities for Mathematics lectures, a national Cipher Challenge, a national Engineering Challenge, and the usual help and support with Sixth Form studies.
