Dear A-level Potential Maths &Further Maths Students,
We are delighted that you are considering studying A-level Maths. We hope that you not
only learn Maths but learn to love it as much as we do!
Success at A-level Maths relies not only on having a passion and interest in the subject,
but a very strong subject basis and skills from GCSE.
The questions we are asking you to do are mainly A* Algebra and Trigonometry questions
from GCSE. It is possible to achieve an A-grade at GCSE without being proficient and
confident with these questions. All new topics that you will learn at A-level will build on
these skills so it is crucial that these are very strong.
To help you, we have given you the roots for the MyMaths resources and we have also
given you video numbers from corbettmaths.com.
All questions must be completed, with full solutions that are clear and demonstrate your
understanding.
Finally, success at any A-level requires real hard work and a tenacity to keep going when it
gets difficult. The reward is not just a grade but a sense of achievement and reward from
knowing how hard you worked.
We are looking forward to seeing you in September,
The Maths Team @PRS
