About this course

Free GCSE Maths course in Croydon. Classes run full-time at Harris Invictus Academy Croydon, five days a week during the day.

The course covers number, algebra, ratio and proportion, geometry, and statistics. You'll work through the full AQA GCSE Maths syllabus over around nine months. Topics build from core arithmetic to problem-solving with data and shape.

You'll finish with a GCSE in Mathematics.

Who this course is for

This course is for students with an interest in how computers and computer systems work, how they are constructed and programmed. You'll need to have studied ICT or computing at GCSE to move on to onto it. You might be choosing computer science because you're headed for a computing career, though thinking computationally (logically, using reasoning, breaking complicated things down and being able to express instructions precisely) is a skill that can be used in a wide range of other careers too. To study Computer Science A level, you'll need a keen interest in computers and good technical, mathematical and problem solving skills. Computer Science particularly complements subjects such as Science and Maths.

What you will learn

  • You'll work with number, fractions, decimals, and percentages.
  • You'll solve algebraic equations and work with expressions and formulae.
  • You'll apply ratio, proportion, and rates of change to real problems.
  • You'll study geometry, including angles, area, volume, and trigonometry.
  • You'll interpret and analyse statistical data and probability.
  • You'll develop mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom lessons, with a teacher guiding you through each topic. The course is assessed by written exams at the end. AQA GCSE Maths uses three exam papers: one non-calculator and two calculator papers. There is no coursework component.

The centre will provide most materials. Harris Invictus Academy Croydon will confirm anything else you need before you start.
