Description

Mathematics, and associated courses, will equip you with expertise which is much sought after and can be used across a broad spectrum of careers. Mathematical training will enable you to adapt to changing environments in the course of your career. Adaptability is just one attribute associated with mathematicians. Others, such as orderliness and precision, logical thinking and insight, are highly valued by potential employers. For these reasons all students should aim to develop their mathematical skills to as high a level as possible.

The Mathematics courses encourage students to extend their knowledge and understanding of Mathematics, logic and problem solving, and their uses in the real world.
The courses also provide the mathematical tools and techniques to solve further real life problems, and provide a sound basis for the further advancement of mathematics at College or University.

Learners will explore a wide variety of mathematical concepts in the Broad General Education, and will move on to National courses in S3.

Where pupils demonstrate competence in Third / Fourth Level Mathematics by the end of S3, they will progress on to a National 5 Mathematics course in S4.

Where pupils demonstrate competence up to Second Level Mathematics by the end of S3, they will progress on to a National 4 Mathematics course in S4.

Progress from National 3

Pupils who have achieved National 3 will progress to the Personal Finance course Level 4.

Progress from National 4

Pupils who have achieved National 4 will progress on to the National 5 Mathematics course.

Progress from National 5

Pupils achieving National 5 at a C Award or above will progress on to Higher Maths or Higher Applications of Maths.

Progress from Higher

Pupils who have achieved Higher Mathematics at a Grade B or above will have the opportunity to progress on to Advanced Higher Mathematics in S6.

Additional Information

The National 3, National 4, Level 4 and Level 5 Personal Finance Awards are assessed internally and do not involve a final exam. National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher have a final examination.
