Home Schooling A level Maths and Mechanics – The Course

The Maths A Level course is split into two major components – AS and A2. The AS level may be sat as a separate qualification in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions. The AS Level has thirteen tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs). The A2 has a further eleven TMAs.
