What the college says

What will I study? A 2 year course run in year 12 and 13. This will run as 2 periods per week and can be taken in addition to your other 3 choices. It will help you develop your mathematical skills and thinking and supports many A level courses run at Exmouth, as well as technical and vocational qualifications. The qualification also carries UCAS points (20 points for an A grade). What can I do with it? Core Maths is about students doing meaningful mathematical problems to increase their confidence in using mathematics to be better equipped for the mathematical demands of other courses, higher education and employment. Mathematical skills are becoming increasingly important in the workplace and in higher education - studying Core Maths will help students to keep up these essential skills.
