Do Anna and Max go to your school?
Core Maths is intended for students who have passed GCSE Mathematics at grade 4 or better, but who have not chosen to study AS or A level Mathematics.
It can be studied in a single year or over a two-year period and can be taken alongside A levels or other qualifications, including vocational courses.
Studying Core Maths helps students develop their quantitative and problem-solving skills. This is valuable preparation for the quantitative skills they will need for many degree courses, particularly subjects such as psychology, geography, business-related courses, sports and social sciences, and natural science courses that do not require AS/A Mathematics.
However not all students or parents are aware of Core Maths and not all schools offer it.
