To develop problem solving and analytical skills with a qualification that is well regarded, facilitating entry to a wide range of careers and further education courses. To further develop logical reasoning skills and the ability to construct mathematical proofs. To use technology effectively to analyse data and to be aware of its limitations. Refine and improve the relationship between mathematical models and the real-life situations they represent. A Level Mathematics studies elements from pure mathematics, statistics and mechanics. Pure Mathematics deepens knowledge of algebraic techniques, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. These concepts and techniques are fundamental to further study in a variety of subjects, especially STEM careers. Understanding statistics allows mathematicians to make predictions about future events. Many subjects make use of statistical information and techniques to analyse data from studies such as psychological or medical trials. An understanding of probability and risk is important in careers like insurance, medicine, engineering and the sciences. Mechanics is a branch of mathematics involving modelling and analysing the physical world around us, including the study of forces and motion. Mechanics is especially useful to students studying physics and engineering. Pure Content – Proof, algebra and functions, coordinate geometry in the (x, y) plane, sequences and series, trigonometry, exponentials and logarithms, differentiation, integration, num
