Maths in A-level Biology (AQA A-level Biology)

“Overall, at least 10% of the marks in assessments for biology will require the use of mathematical skills”

This sentence is taken directly from the AQA A-level Biology specification and clearly shows that being able to apply these skills in the context of biology will have a significant impact on a student’s chances of success.

This bundle has been created to cover as much of those mathematical skills as possible and the following specification points are covered by these 6 lessons:

• Represent phenotypic ratios (monohybird and dihybrid crosses)
• Use and manipulate the magnification formula
• Use the chi-squared test to test the significance of the difference between observed and expected results
• Use the Hardy-Weinberg principle to calculate changes in allele frequency
• Calculate an index of diversity for a habitat

A revision lesson is also included in this bundle which acts as a fun and engaging revision of the range of calculations
