A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics Overview
A-Level Mathematics covers core content along with Pure Mathematics, Statistics, and Mechanics components. Further Mathematics includes Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Statistics, and Decision Mathematics. Emphasis is placed on correct notation, proof, and utilizing calculators like Casio 991-EX for computations. Module choices include Core Pure 1 and 2, with optional modules like Decision 1 and Further Pure 1. Transition work resources are available to prepare for the next academic year.

A-Level Mathematics: 100% Core content 66.6% Pure Mathematics 16.6% Statistics 16.6% Mechanics
A Level Further Mathematics 50% Core (all pure mathematics) 50% optional and can include Pure Mathematics Mechanics Statistics Decision mathematic
AS Level Further Mathematics 20% core (all pure mathematics) 10% compulsory (selected from A Level core) 70% optional (same options as A Level)
Content: The universities have requested qualifications that place emphasis on correct notation and thorough proof Pre-release data sets Calculator (Casio 991-EX) that can Compute summary statistics Compute iterative formulae Calculate with 3 x 3 matrices YOU MUST BUY IT. SEE NEXT SLIDE
Further Maths Module Choices: Compulsory: Core Pure 1 and Core Pure 2 Optional: Decision 1 and Further Pure 1 The optional modules are exactly that. If the cohort of pupils agree that other modules are more suitable then a discussion can be had.
TRANSITION WORK
http://fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/oxed/seco ndary/maths/HomeLearning-Pack_A-Level- Bridging_Algebra_Contents-page.pdf?region=uk Oxford Resources have made available transition resources to get you ready for net year. This will give you an opportunity to develop key skills that you have already used. With the limited time that we have to teach new content it is pivotal that this knowledge is already developed fully.
https://www.youtube.com/user/HE GARTYMATHS/videos Colin Hegarty (Of Hegarty Maths fame) has been making A Level Maths transition videos. These are essential viewing in preparation for next year.
https://preview.pearsonactivelearn.com/app/library/series/vi ew/666684#/studentbooks EDEXCEL is our exam board. During the pandemic they have made all A Level textbooks available online. I don t know how long this will be for, but if you wanted to get a better idea of the content that you will be teaching I would take a look. For Normal Maths you want the Pure and Stats/Mechs books. For Further Maths you want to Core pure , D1 and FP1 books. Feel free to look at any and all of them!
