It offers the opportunity for stretch and challenge that builds on the Key Stage 4 curriculum and is intended as an additional qualification to the GCSE Mathematics, rather than as a replacement.  \nThe content assumes prior knowledge of the Key Stage 4 Programme of Study and covers the areas of algebra and geometry, which are crucial to further study in the subject, in greater depth and breadth. This new qualification places an emphasis on higher order technical proficiency, rigorous argument and problem solving skills. It also gives an introduction to calculus and matrices and develops further skills in trigonometry, functions and graphs.  \nThe AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics is an untiered Level 2 linear qualification for learners who  \n either already have, or are expected to achieve grades A and A* in GCSE mathematics  \n are likely to progress to A-Level study in mathematics and possibly further mathematics.  \nIt will be graded on a five-grade scale: A* with Distinction (A^), A*, A, B and C.  \nThe qualification is designed to be assessed as a full Level 2 mathematics qualification in its own right and is therefore not dependent on GCSE mathematics.  \nTherefore there are no prior learning requirements but there is the expectation that candidates have some assumed knowledge.  \nThe specification content is set out in six distinct topic areas although questions will be asked that range across these topics.  \n Number  \n Algebra  \n Co-ordinate Geometry (2 dimensions only)  \n Calculus  \n Matrix Transformations  \n Geometry  \nPapers  \nThese specimen papers have been designed to exemplify the question papers, to be set for our Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics Specification, for first qualification in June 2012 . The associated mark scheme follows each paper.  \nThe question papers should be read in conjunction with AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics Specification 2011 onwards. This specification is available on the website  \n[http://web.aqa.org.uk/qual/igcse/maths.php](http://web.aqa.org.uk/qual/igcse/maths.php)  \nThe question papers are intended to represent the length and balance of the papers that will be set for the examination and to indicate the types of questions that will be u","cbCait0TZjyhRMHt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait0TZjyhRMHt","pdf",1368593,56,"English","# Background Information\n## Introduction\n# Paper 1 (Non-Calculator)\n## Mark Scheme\n# Paper 2 (Calculator)\n## Mark Scheme","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this AQA Level 2 Further Mathematics qualification?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses higher-order mathematical skills, especially algebraic reasoning, in greater depth, while preparing high-achieving learners for further study at Level 3.\"},{\"question\":\"What prior knowledge is expected from candidates?\",\"answer\":\"No formal prior learning requirements are stated, but candidates are expected to have some assumed knowledge from Key Stage 4.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Paper 1 (Non-Calculator) assessed and what is the maximum mark?\",\"answer\":\"Paper 1 requires mathematical instruments and no calculator use; the maximum mark for this paper is 70.\"}]","AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics - Specimen Assessment Materials 8360 - Paper 1 | PDF",141]
