Title: A-level Mathematics for Year 12 - Course 1: Algebraic Methods, Graphs and Applied Mathematics Methods
Location: US
Company: Imperial College London
About this course:
This course by Imperial College London is designed to help you develop the skills you need to succeed in your A-level maths exams.
You will investigate key topic areas to gain a deeper understanding of the skills and techniques that you can apply throughout your A-level study. These skills include:
Fluency – selecting and applying correct methods to answer with speed and efficiency
Confidence – critically assessing mathematical methods and investigating ways to apply them
Problem solving – analysing the ‘unfamiliar’ and identifying which skills and techniques you require to answer questions
Constructing mathematical argument – using mathematical tools such as diagrams, graphs, logical deduction, mathematical symbols, mathematical language, construct mathematical argument and present precisely to others
Deep reasoning – analysing and critiquing mathematical techniques, arguments, formulae and proofs to comprehend how they can be applied
Over seven modules, your initial skillset will be extended to give a clear understanding of how background knowledge underpins the A
-level course. You’ll also be encouraged to consider how what you know fits into the wider mathematical world.
Improve fluency and accuracy when using laws of indices and surds in a variety of calculations
Learn how to solve the types of inequalities you'll encounter at A-level and various ways to represent these
Discover how to divide any polynomial by either a linear or quadratic polynomial
Learn about the information found in different forms of the Cartesian equation of a circle and use these to solve coordinate geometry problems
Investigate the main transformations of graphs; translation, enlargement and reflection, and use these transformations to sketch new graphs
Understand the constant acceleration formulae through travel graphs illustration, speed, velocity, distance and displacement against time
Explore statistical sampling methods and weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of each one
Learn how to interpret data presented in a variety of forms including box plots, cumulative frequency curves, histograms and bar charts
Develop your thinking skills, fluency and confidence to aim for an A* in A-levelmaths and prepare for undergraduate STEM degrees.
