AS/A Level Maths Year 1

Description

A-Level Maths Year 1 | AS Level

This Cambridge International A Level Mathematics course develops rigorous mathematical thinking while recognising mathematics as a reflection of the order, logic, and consistency of God’s creation. Students study pure mathematics, mechanics, and statistics, learning to reason logically, model real-world situations, and solve complex problems. A Christian perspective is woven throughout the course, encouraging students to see mathematics as a tool for discovering truth rather than inventing it.

Cambridge International A-level Maths Year 1 (AS level) course

Please note this course will start the week of 17 August. In the class, we will complete Year 1 over the course of 32 weeks in our live online sessions.

Age: 16-18

Day & Time: Wednesdays & Fridays 9:30-11 AM UK Timezone

Location: Zoom Meeting

Tutor: Hannah 

Pre-requisites: 

• iGCSE Maths Year 1 & Year 2 or similar with strong algebraic skills.
• Prior exposure to mechanics is helpful but not essential.
• A high skill level in Maths and/or exceptional Maths scores on GCSE Level Maths, or similar.

A-Level Maths allows a student to study for the exam or to study the course as part of their high school diploma. This is perfect for students who require maths at a higher level.

Required Materials: The following Cambridge International A Level Mathematics textbooks

• Collins Cambridge International AS & A Level – Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics Pure Mathematics 1 Student’s Book
• Collins Cambridge International AS & A Level – Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics Pure Mathematics 2 and 3 Student’s Book
• Collins Cambridge International AS & A Level – Cambridge International AS & A Level Mathematics Probability and Statistics 1 Student’s Book

Cambridge International AS/A-level Maths Year 1 course highlights:

• Covers Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, and Statistics in line with the Cambridge syllabus
  
• Emphasis on reasoning, modelling, and clear mathematical communication
  
• Practical investigations linking mathematics to real-world contexts
  
• Thoughtful Christian worldview discussions on truth, order, and the nature of mathematics

A Level Maths Objectives & Outcomes

Students will develop fluency in algebraic manipulation, calculus, and mathematical modelling. They will learn to apply mathematics to physical situations, interpret data, and evaluate assumptions within models.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Solve unfamiliar problems using logical reasoning and mathematical techniques
  
• Apply calculus and algebra to model real-world and physical systems
  
• Analyse data and probability models critically
  
• Reflect on mathematics as a consistent and discoverable system rooted in God’s design

Topics Include:

• Quadratics, functions, coordinate geometry, and circular measure
  
• Trigonometry and series
  
• Differentiation and integration
  
• Algebra, logarithmic, and exponential functions
  
• Numerical methods, vectors, and differential equations
  
• Complex numbers
  
• Mechanics: forces, equilibrium, kinematics, momentum, Newton’s laws, energy, work, and power
  
• Statistics: data representation, permutations and combinations, probability, and discrete random variables
  
• Regular review, investigations, and exam preparation

This is a demanding academic course requiring regular practice and independent study. Mechanics and statistics involve interpreting real-world data and physical contexts.

This course is eligible for USA High School Diploma & Transcript credit.  Students successfully completing this course will receive 2 high school math credits.
