Mathematics
Pre-Course Work
This work is important – please bring solutions to your
first lesson. This transition document is common to all
centres in the Cambridge Area Partnership. You will
have a test on the content covered herein at the
beginning of term.
Welcome to 6th Form Mathematics. This booklet is designed to
prepare you for studying Mathematics post-16 by focusing on
those topics from the GCSE course which have strong links to
Key Stage 5 Mathematics. These questions do not require the use
of a calculator.
Below is a list of resources you may find useful for guidance or
additional practice:

Good luck!
Calculators
You will need a scientific calculator. IVC recommends a TI84+
and will put in an order in September. Other centres use
different models
