A Level Maths Modules
Our A level in Mathematics has the following structure:
Year 12:
Introduction to Advanced Mathematics (Core 1)
Concepts for Advanced Mathematics (Core 2)
Statistics (Statsistics 1)

Year 13:
Methods for Advanced Mathematics (Core 3) - includes 20% coursework
Applications of Advance Mathematics (Core 4) - includes synoptic paper
Mechanices (Mechanics 1)



Core 1 – Core 4 forms the common base of the A level. The content here is pure mathematics – algebra, calculus, trigonometry and geometry. It is these four modules that all A level students have to study, and that universities primarily require. Statistics 1 and Mechanics 1 are applied modules which take mathematics and apply it to real life situations.


The structure of our Further Mathematics A level is similar:
In addition to the six Mathematics modules:

Year 12:

Futher concepts for Advanced Mathematics (Further Pure 1)
Decision Mathematics (Decision 1)
Numerical Methods - includes 20% coursework.

Year 13:
Further Methods for Advanced Mathematics (Further Pure 2)
Statistics (Statistics 2)
Mechanics (Mechanics 2)


The Further Pure units address some of the pure mathematics content not dealt with in the core (and useful for engineering and maths).
