Core Maths
Core Maths - Level 3 Mathematical Studies
Core Maths covers aspects of maths that you might actually use in your life and job as well as supporting the maths content in other courses. Core Maths is equivalent to half an A level and carries the equivalent UCAS points. It provides students with a ‘maths for life’ education.
The benefits of this course are huge for our students and will give them the “edge” in many ways. Students will solve problems involving finance, statistics, and estimation and develop their critical thinking skills. The skills that are learnt during the course will aid achievement in a variety of A level / vocational courses including, but not limited to, accounting, geography, economics, business, psychology and the sciences. These qualifications have a high mathematical content and continued maths study, especially if not studying maths A level is hugely supportive of higher attainment. Therefore, core maths will form part of the taught curriculum, academic and personal development, for all students, studied alongside 3 A levels or a vocational pathway.
Furthermore, the course delivers the functional maths needed for life in the world of work, therefore giving an edge on job and apprenticeship applications and also real-life maths such as mortgages and taxation.
