All rights reserved.\n7\nWhy I have offered Level 2 Further Maths in my school?\nThe qualification offers a good level of challenge and an additional qualification for high attaining KS4 students.\nI believe it helps consolidate and improve their maths GCSE performance, even if they don’t sit the exam.\nThe content really helps students to span the gap from GCSE to A-level. Some of the questions are certainly AS level quality.\nAllows students to see differentiation in year 11 and even some further maths in matrices.\nIt’s very easy to teach alongside the main GCSE as the topics are complimentary – the question style is very similar to the AQA GCSE Maths but also fine for other boards.\nIt’s a good opportunity to extend staff’s subject knowledge.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.\n8\nKey benefits to future A-level students\nImproved algebraic proficiency.\nFocus on pure maths and problem solving.\nEarly opportunity to do differentiation.\nHarder questions and content improves their pure knowledge for the GCSE and consolidates or boosts their grade.\nGives students an early taste of A-level style questions – good early way to promote A-level Maths and boost uptake.\nCopyright © 2022 AQA and its licensors.
