Aims nd objectives This WJEC GCE AS nd A Level in Further Mthemtics provides brod, coherent, stisfying nd worthwhile course of study. It encourges lerners to develop confidence in, nd positive ttitude towrds, mthemtics nd to recognise its importnce in their own lives nd to society. The specifiction hs been designed to respond to the proposls set out in the report of the ALCAB pnel on mthemtics nd further mthemtics. The WJEC GCE AS nd A level in Further Mthemtics encourges lerners to: develop their understnding of mthemtics nd mthemticl processes in wy tht promotes confidence nd fosters enjoyment; develop bilities to reson logiclly nd recognise incorrect resoning, to generlise nd to construct mthemticl proofs; extend their rnge of mthemticl skills nd techniques nd use them in more difficult, unstructured problems; develop n understnding of coherence nd progression in mthemtics nd of how different res of mthemtics cn be connected; recognise how sitution my be represented mthemticlly nd understnd the reltionship between rel world problems nd stndrd nd other mthemticl models nd how these cn be refined nd improved; use mthemtics s n effective mens of communiction; red nd comprehend mthemticl rguments nd rticles concerning pplictions of mthemtics; cquire the skills needed to use technology such s clcultors nd computers effectively, recognise when such use my be inpproprite nd be wre of limittions; develop n wreness of the relevnce of mthemtics to other fields of study, to the world of work nd to society in generl; tke incresing responsibility for their own lerning nd the evlution of their own mthemticl development.

8 GCE AS nd A LEVEL FURTHER MATHEMATICS 6. Prior lerning nd progression Any requirements set for entry to course following this specifiction re t the discretion of centres. It is resonble to ssume tht mny lerners will hve chieved qulifictions equivlent to Level t KS4. Skills in Numercy/Mthemtics, Litercy/English nd Informtion nd Communiction Technology will provide good bsis for progression to this Level 3 qulifiction. Cndidtes my be expected to hve obtined (or to be obtining concurrently) n Advnced GCE in Mthemtics. This specifiction builds on the knowledge, understnding nd skills estblished t GCSE. This specifiction provides suitble foundtion for the study of mthemtics or relted re through rnge of higher eduction courses, progression to the next level of voctionl qulifictions or employment. In ddition, the specifiction provides coherent, stisfying nd worthwhile course of study for lerners who do not progress to further study in this subject. This specifiction is not ge specific nd, s such, provides opportunities for lerners to extend their life-long lerning..3 Equlity nd fir ccess This specifiction my be followed by ny lerner, irrespective of gender, ethnic, religious or culturl bckground. It hs been designed to void, where possible, fetures tht could, without justifiction, mke it more difficult for lerner to chieve becuse they hve prticulr protected chrcteristic. The protected chrcteristics under the Equlity Act 00 re ge, disbility, gender ressignment, pregnncy nd mternity, rce, religion or belief, sex nd sexul orienttion. The specifiction hs been discussed with groups who represent the interests of diverse rnge of lerners, nd the specifiction will be kept under review. Resonble djustments re mde for certin lerners in order to enble them to ccess the ssessments (e.g. cndidtes re llowed ccess to Sign Lnguge Interpreter, using British Sign Lnguge). Informtion on resonble djustments is found in the following document from the Joint Council for Qulifictions (JCQ): Access Arrngements nd Resonble Adjustments: Generl nd Voctionl Qulifictions. This document is vilble on the JCQ website ( As consequence of provision for resonble djustments, very few lerners will hve complete brrier to ny prt of the ssessment.
