Mathematics
The new and exciting linear Maths A Level specification is centred on problem solving, proof, reasoning and mathematical modelling. The Maths A Level course is fast-paced and it is necessary for young mathematicians to work independently to hone their skills. Students will be assessed after every topic and at the end of each half term. One of the overarching themes in the new specification is making concrete links between the different areas of Maths - pure, statistics and mechanics - and developing an understanding of how to model real-life problems using mathematical concepts. The huge impact Mathematics has on your daily life cannot be overestimated. This is what makes Mathematics such an interesting and varied subject.
