the specification.  \n1 Introduction  \n1.1 Why choose AQA for AS Mathematics  \nThe changes to AS and A-level Maths qualifications represent the biggest in a generation. They’ve also given us the chance to design new qualifications, with even more opportunity for your students to realise their potential.  \nMaths is one of the biggest facilitating subjects and it’s essential for many higher education courses and careers. We’ve worked closely with higher education to ensure these qualifications give your students the best possible chance to progress.  \nA specification with freedom – assessment design that rewards understanding  \nWe want students to see the links between different areas of maths and to apply their maths skills across all areas. That’s why our assessment structure gives you the freedom to teach maths your way.  \nConsistent assessments are essential, which is why we’ve worked hard to ensure our papers are clear and reward your students for their mathematical skills and knowledge.  \nYou can find out about all our Mathematics [qualifications at](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/maths)[ ](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/maths)[aqa.org.uk/maths](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/maths)  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.  \nTeaching resources  \n[Visit](Visit aqa.org.uk/7356 to see all)[ ](Visit aqa.org.uk/7356 to see all)[aqa.org.uk/7356](Visit aqa.org.uk/7356 to see all)[ to see all](Visit aqa.org.uk/7356 to see all) our teaching resources.
