Calculator
It is recommended that every A Level student purchases a Casio ClassWiz fx-991EX calculator for use throughout the course. This has the functions to solve quadratics, simultaneous equations, polynomials, integrate and so much more! The price is approximately £20. A guide to all of it's functions can be found here.
Teaching Content
The teaching content involves Pure & Applied topics for both Year 12 & Year 13. The teaching schedule below indicates a suggested order of teaching but this can be flexible to suit the teaching groups.
At the end of each topic chapter an assessment is to be completed by each student. This can be completed as a homework to save on lesson time, if appropriate.

A Joke:
An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were on a train heading north, and had just crossed the border into Scotland.
-
The engineer looked out of the window and said "Look! Scottish sheep are black!"
-
The physicist said, "No, no. Some Scottish sheep are black."
-
The mathematician looked irritated. "There is at least one field, containing at least one sheep, of which at least one side is black."
