A Level Further Mathematics. Type of Assessment: AS Unit 1 – Further Pure Mathematics 1 written exam 16.7% Unit 2 – Mechanics 1 written exam 16.7% Unit 3 – Mechanics 2 written exam 16.7% A2 Unit 4 – Further Pure Mathematics 2 written exam 16.7% Unit 5 – Mechanics 2 written exam 16.7% Unit 6 – Decision Mathematics 2 written exam 16.7% Course Description: Further mathematics exposes students to a broader range of mathematical ideas and challenges them to a deeper understanding of the subject than is possible in a single subject course. Further mathematics makes a double subject provision possible for those who have a particular interest in the mathematical sciences. It allows students to reach a very high level of mathematical sophistication. Topics covered in A level mathematics are extended and developed and new mathematical topics are introduced. It is still about solving problems and students will see how certain methods can be applied in areas like engineering or computing. It is designed to let students study a wide range of options in pure mathematics, mechanics and decision mathematics. Students will need to be very interested in mathematics to consider taking this subject. Teaching Style: Students are taken through a variety of examples using whole group teaching. Plenty of opportunity is also given to students to discuss their work. Printed notes will be given to students to aid revision. Students are assessed regularly through assignment sheets and tests. Data projectors / smartboards are also used to present concepts and examples in an interesting way.
