Core Maths AS Level

Entry Requirements: 5

Overview of the Course:

Core maths is an excellent new course for students who want to continue their study of maths to AS Level, in order to support study of other A Level subjects which require a high degree of competency in maths.

Content includes: analysis of data; maths for personal finance; estimation; critical analysis of given data and models (including spreadsheets and tabular data); critical path analysis; expectation; cost benefit analysis.

The course is designed to give examples of where mathematical skills are used in the ‘real world’. This will be useful in applying for jobs or an apprenticeship, or the qualification can be used as UCAS points towards a university place.

Please note this course is only available to AS Level and therefore should be added as a fourth option to a Year 12 study programme.

For further information on this course, speak with a member of the Mathematics Department, or specification on the AQA website.
