AS Level Mathematics

This course covers the Pure Mathematics 1, Statistics 1 and Mechanics 1.  This is aimed at AS Level Mathematics which must be covered by the end of Year 12.

Assessment Objectives:

AO 1: Use and apply standard techniques.

Learners should be able to:

• elect and correctly carry out routine procedures
• accurately recall facts, terminology and definitions

AO 2: Reason, interpret and communicate mathematically

Learners should be able to:

• construct rigorous mathematical arguments (including proofs)
• make deductions and inferences
• assess the validity of mathematical arguments
• explain their reasoning
• use mathematical language and notation correctly

AO3: Solve problems within mathematics and in other contexts

Learners should be able to:

• translate problems in mathematical and non mathematical contexts into mathematical processes
• interpret solutions to problems in their original context, and, where appropriate, evaluate their accuracy and limitations
• translate situations in context into mathematical models
• use mathematical models evaluate the outcomes of modelling in context, recognise the limitations of models and, where appropriate, explain how to refine them
