SUBJECT OVERVIEW
In year 7 sets 2, 3 and the SLC follow a catch up scheme of work addressing the gaps identified following their key stage 2 assessments.
Assessment
- Internal examinations are taken each term throughout the course and regular testing of specific topic areas is also carried out.
- Homework tasks are set weekly and will include activities which revisit topics studied earlier in the course. This ensures revision is taking place throughout each school year.
KEY STAGE 5
- There are 3 main areas in mathematics at A Level:
- Pure Mathematics: Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus (Differentiation and Integration and their applications.)
- Mechanics: Application of Newtonian ideas to describe and predict real world situations; the main topics being Kinematics, Statics and Dynamics.
- Statistics: Representation and analysis of data, including Probability, Probability Distributions, Linear Correlation and Linear Regression.
SCHEMES OF WORK
- Fluency
- Problem Solving
- Mathematics Reasoning
- Multiplicative Reasoning
- Reflection
