A level Mathematics Programme of Study 2025-2026 A level Mathematics INTENT: One of the requirements of the new A-level specification is to test the content synoptically and for students to apply the knowledge they have in unfamiliar areas. Students will be aiming to ‘draw together information from different areas of the specification’ and ‘apply their knowledge and understanding in practical and theoretical contexts’. Use of calculators in exams is more important now and students will learn to use the modes and abilities of their calculator efficiently. The course consists of material that covers both Pure and Applied Mathematics. Two thirds of the course is focused on Pure Mathematics covering subjects such as advanced algebra and calculus. One third is split evenly between statistics and mechanics. There are two versions of the program of study depending on whether the lead teacher is a statistics or mechanics specialist.
