What the college says

The AQA A Level in mathematics was selected at John Colet School due to the interesting large data set involving cars. We felt that the content would engage our students and offer a wide range of opportunities to compare different aspects of the data set using technology.We feel that it is important that proof is taught in a scaffolded and interesting way at A Level to deepen our students' understanding of key mathematical concepts. We do not want them to appear complicated to the students but logical and satisfying. It forms an essential part of each topic area with students occasionally having to know specific mathematical proofs by recall.The content is taught in a way that builds upon mathematical skills and content at GCSE as well as linking to previous content taught throughout the A Level course. For example, the equation of a circle is taught at GCSE, extended upon in Year 12 and then linked to parametric equations in Y13. The scheme of work provides opportunities for links between pure and mechanics as well as pure and statistics.Problem solving and reasoning forms such an essential part of the A Level mathematician: the ability to tackle content in a range of contexts as well using their embedded mathematical skills not only will result in success in the examination but will provide them with the important attributes beyond A Level and improve their confidence.It is also essential that students develop exam techniques to ensure that they are prepared for the require
