Level 2 Mathematics with Algebra

12MAA
Course Description

Contact Person: G. Holas-Clark.

Recommended Prior Learning

The course assumes previous algebraic knowledge from the 11MAA course, so to have a good foundation, we would recommend that you have passed 10 credits in 11MAA including M1.2 Mathematical Methods and M1.4 Mathematical Reasoning. 

If you are not doing 11MAA currently and want to do 12MAA or do not gain the recommended credits, please talk to Mr Holas-Clark as soon as possible so that we can see what support and options may be available.



This course is designed for students who have a strong foundation in Algebra (ideally from 11MAA) and are ready to apply it to more advanced mathematical ideas. You'll develop skills in solving equations, modelling real-world problems, and interpreting results using algebra, calculus, and probability.

You will learn to:

  • Use algebraic methods to solve complex equations and rearrange formulae
  • Apply graphical techniques to interpret and solve problems
  • Use trigonometric relationships in real-world and geometric contexts
  • Understand and apply calculus methods (such as differentiation) to model and analyse change
  • Work with probability models to make predictions and solve chance-based problems

 

This course keeps your mathematics pathways open and leads into Year 13 Calculus, Year 13 Statistics and Year 13 Mathematics. It’s especially recommended for students considering further study in:

  • Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry
  • Finance, Economics, and Business
  • Computer Science and Data Science
  • Architecture and Design
  • Medicine and Health Sciences

 

Choose this course if you:
✔ Enjoy algebra and problem solving
✔ Want to keep your STEM and data science options open
 ✔ Are aiming for university or a maths-rich vocational pathway
