Maths

 

Lessons are taught using a combination of presentations, examples booklets, question cards and problem solving group activities and independent work. All lessons give students the opportunity to extend their learning using differentiated activities.

We have regular mini and formal assessments with feedback for students to enhance exam technique and gain confidence.

A selection of homework is given on a weekly basis including exam question cards, self-teach lessons, research activities and targeted revision packs.

Pure : Trigonometry, Calculus, Circles, Binomial expansion, Polynomials, Coordinate geometry and advanced algebra.

Mechanics: Forces, Projectiles, Calculus in Mechanics, Moments and Constant Acceleration including the use of Vectors.

Statistics: statistical distributions and Hypothesis testing, Probability, Measure of spread, Product moment correlation, Data presentation and Interpretation.

Problem solving, numerical, analytical, communication, collaboration, group/team work, independent learning, resilience, perseverance.

 

 

Many university courses and careers require a higher level of mathematical skills, particularly Engineering, Computer Science, Physics and Architecture. Other degrees such as Geography, Psychology and Biology use a lot statistics within them so studying A-level mathematics may be beneficial.

Examination: 3 x 2 hour papers at the end of the course
