The aim of this course is to develop students’ mathematical and analytical abilities, both in terms of pure mathematics and an application of mathematics. The course is designed to provide a progression from the A/A* work covered in GCSE higher tier mathematics. Mathematics is a very useful tool that is utilised in a wide range of other subjects and future careers. It is also, however, a powerful and interesting subject in its own right that will challenge your thinking and develop your ability to problem solve and deliver clear and rigorous mathematical arguments. In Year 13, students study two Pure Core units and an Applied unit from either Mechanics or Statistics. They extend their range of mathematical skills and techniques and use them in more difficult unstructured problems. They develop an understanding of coherence and progression in Mathematics and how different areas of Mathematics can be connected. In their applied unit they use mathematical models to represent and solve 'real world' problems and recognise how these models can be refined.
