Home Tuition Scotland provides qualified Maths tutors in Edinburgh, Maths tutors in Glasgow, Maths tutors in Aberdeen and Maths tutors in Dundee.

Our Maths tutors are all GTC Scotland-registered schoolteachers and are experts in Standard Grade Maths revision, Intermediate Maths revision and Higher Maths revision curriculums including:

The syllabus is designed to build upon and extend candidates’ previous mathematical learning in the
areas of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and statistics. The course makes demands over
and above the requirements of individual units. Candidates should be able to integrate their
knowledge across the component units of the course. Some of the 40 hours of flexibility time should
be used to ensure that candidates satisfy the grade descriptions for mathematics courses which
involve solving problems and which require more extended thinking and decision making. Candidates
should be exposed to coursework tasks which require them to interpret problems, select appropriate
strategies, come to conclusions, and communicate intelligibly.
Where appropriate, mathematical topics should be taught and skills in applying mathematics
developed through real-life contexts. Candidates should be encouraged throughout the course, to
make use of their skills in written and mental calculation, to make efficient use of calculators, and to
apply the strategy of checking.

COURSE Mathematics (Intermediate 2)
Numerical checking or checking a result against the context in which it is set is an integral part of
every mathematical process. In many instances, the checking can be done mentally, but on occasions,
to stress its importance, there should be evidence of a checking procedure within the calculation.
There are various checking procedures which could be used:
relating to a context -‘How sensible is my answer?’
estimate followed by a repeated calculation
calculation in a different order
The need for checking arises in all mathematical processes, and candidates should, therefore, be
prepared to provide evidence of checking of more than just numerical calculations within the course
assessment, eg, checking the solution of an equation by substitution into the original equation.
It is expected that candidates will be able to demonstrate attainment in the algebraic, trigonometric
and statistical content of the course without the use of computer software or sophisticated calculators.
In assessments, candidates are required to show their working in carrying out algorithms and
processes.
