Abstract

A-level courses and examinations are with us for some time to come. Even if Mevel is introduced, for most pupils who spend two years in the I sixth form A-levels will remain the basis of their studies. It seems to me that we need a major debate about A-level mathematics; we need to review it as it is and try to decide what developments are necessary. The discussion I paper ‘Mathematics at A-level’ has already raised a number of points, some of which are touched on here. This article is not a statement of official SMP policy; any opinions expressed in it are my own. The aim is to provoke discussion. I shall consider a number of issues which seem to me to be important, hoping that others will be stimulated to contribute comments and suggest other topics which need attention.
