INTRODUCTION Over the next 7 weeks you will be studying new topics in mathematics. Each of these new

topics builds upon AS work. At A2 level you must ensure that you achieve a high standard

of written mathematics, which is clear, logical and fluent. You will need to think deeply

about the concepts and put in regular practice.

Homework: You will be given homework each week to support your learning. Some

homework will involve pre-learning that prepares you for the next lesson so it is very

important that you complete it! You will be expected to mark the homework yourself and

your teachers will check the working out and lay out of your work.

Week 2 AS – A2 test: This test is to check that you have not forgotten AS maths and C3

functions and algebra! If you do not do well on this test then you will be given extra work to

make sure you are ready for the A-level mathematics.

Week 8 C3 mock exam: This test is to make sure you are ready for the harder parts of

the course. HW7: Practice Test in your C3 Homework Pack is an example of this test. You

will need to work hard - the pass mark for this test is 50%.

Please take some time to visit our website: www.candimaths.uk

Homework Work outside lessons should take 4+ hours. You will be set homework on all the main topics.

Complete the set work thoughtfully; it is for your benefit. Remember to check and mark your

answers, write any comments or questions to the teacher on your work and submit it on time.

You should also review notes, revise for future tests and plan ahead as part of your homework.

Support – to help you succeed The department runs several support workshops at lunchtimes and after college where you can get extra help. This is

also an opportunity for you to get to know other teachers and students.

Expectations

Students take increasing responsibility for their learning at the Sixth Form. Do join in the classes,

volunteer answers and ask questions. Spend time at home organising your equipment, notes and learning. Learning demands, courage, determination and resourcefulness. Use other text books,

YouTube, websites, work with other students and talk with teachers.
