INTRODUCTION
This bespoke Mathematics module is designed to support students with the mathematical elements of
their A Level courses. In particular there will be statistical elements that support Biology, Geography and
Psychology. Opportunity is also provided to support other A Levels with capacity to adapt the course as
required.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
This course is not for A Level mathematicians, but for students who are studying subjects, such as Biology,
Geography, Psychology or Product Design that have a mathematical content.
COURSE CONTENT
The course will mainly focus on the statistical elements of Biology, Geography and Psychology. It will
include the further development of bivariate data, correlation and regression including Spearman9s Rank;
the review of measures of central tendency; an introduction to probability distributions – in particular the
Normal distribution.
Students will develop skills in sampling data, estimating population sizes and effective use of scientific
calculators.
Away from the statistical elements students will review graph plotting skills, learn about Tax and National
Insurance and mortgages and loans – including student loans.
ASSESSMENT
There is no formal examination for this course but you will be expected to apply yourself to all the modules,
present projects to the class and show evidence of your progress.
