This course is most suited for students who enjoy studying mathematical topics in practical, real-life contexts and is therefore ideal as a support for other A Level subjects or vocational courses. This course models the real world and develops practical skills which are transferable to your other studies. AS level All students study three modules: 1. Algebra module covering: Linear and quadratic functions; Gradients of curves and Maxima & Minima; Power and Inverse functions; Growth and decay; Transformations of graphs; Trigonometric functions and Linearising data. 2. FSMQ Data Analysis module covering: Carrying out investigations; Statistical diagrams; Statistical measures; Comparing data sets; Bivariate data; the Normal distribution and Critical thinking. 3. The third module is chosen from one of the following: - FSMQ Decision Maths, supporting Computing and IT courses, or - FSMQ Dynamics, supporting Physics and Engineering, or - FSMQ Mathematical Principles for Personal Finance, supporting Business studies, Economics and Finance. A2 level All students study three modules: 1. FSMQ Calculus 2. Mathematical Applications (coursework) 3. Mathematical Comprehension
Name: AS/A Level Maths Uses Qualification title: GCE AS Level in Use of Mathematics (Pilot) Qualification type: Assessment AS level consists of three modules which are examined at the end of the first year. Each module exam is one hour and graphic calculators are required. A data sheet is distributed to the student two weeks before the exams to enable you to familiarise yourself with the scenarios and vocabulary that will be required in the exam. A2 level consists of three modules, two of which are examined at the end of the second year. Both the Calculus and Comprehension modules are assessed by a written exam with pre-release data sheets and the use of graphic calculators. The Applications module is a portfolio assessment comprising of two pieces of coursework based on topics from two different modules.
