Mathematics qualification enables learners to: • develop their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts
and techniques • acquire a foundation of mathematical skills for further study in the subject or related areas • enjoy
using and applying mathematical techniques and concepts, and become confident in using mathematics to solve
problems • appreciate the importance of mathematics in society, employment and study.
Biology qualification enables learners to: • learn about unifying patterns and themes in biology and use them in new
and changing situations • acquire knowledge and understanding of biological facts, terminology, concepts, principles
and practical techniques • apply the principles and concepts of biology, including those related to the applications of
biology, to different contexts • evaluate biological information, making judgements on the basis of this information •
appreciate the practical nature of biology, developing experimental and investigative skills based on correct and safe
laboratory techniques • analyse, interpret and evaluate data and experimental methods, drawing conclusions that are
consistent with evidence from experimental activities and suggesting possible improvements and further investigations
• recognise the importance of accurate experimental work and reporting scientific methods in biology • select, organise
and present relevant information clearly and logically using appropriate vocabulary, definitions and conventions •
develop a logical approach to problem solving in a wider context • select and apply appropriate areas of mathematics
relevant to biology as set out under each topic • prepare for more advanced courses in biology and for other courses
that require knowledge of biology.
