Mathematics

COMPULSORY TASK:

So you're thinking about choosing Mathematics as an A-level. This task has been put together to help give you the best possible start in September by hitting the ground running. 

This task concentrates on material that you should have seen at GCSE. There are some topics such as trigonometry that do not feature in this task, but you will be required to know them. 

It is expected that you will complete ALL the questions/problems in this task and submit your work during your first mathematics lesson in September. It is expected that this will be done on a separate paper with full workings shown. This will form part of your initial assessment grade, so it is very important that it is done to the best of your ability. You can email maths@springwoodhighschool.co.uk for any questions relating to the task or the A-level course.
