Maths - Core Maths

Core Maths / Mathematics in Context

What will you study:

During your studies of Mathematics in Context you will look at how to use and apply maths in many different situations. For example how to calculate how long it will take you to pay off a student loan,  work out if you could financially own a house, understand percentage increases in your salary. It can also help you predict the wider future: what will be the impact of global warming, of oil running out, of water becoming scare and the world population hitting 9 billion

Future Pathways:

If you’re planning to study subjects such as Science, Geography, Business, Economics or social sciences at A level, or a vocational qualification, or are planning to take an apprenticeship or move into employment, Core Maths will be useful to help refine and develop your maths skills.

Mathematics in Context will help you to build a learning programme that suits you. It also counts as the mathematics element of the Technical Baccalaureate, so will help if you are interested in a technical career.
