All of our Standard Grade Maths tutors, Intermediate Maths tutors and Higher Maths tutors aim to build upon and extend candidates’ mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding in a way that recognises problem solving as an essential skill and enables them to integrate their knowledge of different aspects of the subject. Because of the importance of these features, the grade descriptions for mathematics emphasise the need for candidates to undertake extended thinking and decision making to solve problems and integrate mathematical knowledge. The use of coursework tasks to achieve the course grade descriptions in problem solving is encouraged.

The increasing degree of importance of mathematical rigour and the ability to use precise and concise mathematical language as candidates progress in mathematics assumes a particular importance at this stage. Candidates who complete Standard Grade Mathematics tuition, Intermediate Mathematics tuition or Higher Mathematics tuition courses successfully are expected to have a competence and a confidence in applying mathematical techniques, manipulating symbolic expressions and communicating with mathematical correctness in the solution of problems. It is important, therefore, that, within the Maths classes, appropriate attention is given to the acquisition of such expertise whilst extending the candidate’s ‘toolkit’ of knowledge and skills.

Where appropriate, mathematics should be developed in context and the use of mathematical techniques should be applied in social and vocational contexts related to likely progression routes.

Higher Mathematics tutor lessons have the particular objective of meeting the needs of candidates at a stage of their education where career aspirations are particularly important. The course has obvious relevance for candidates with interests in fields such as commerce, engineering and science where the mathematics learned will be put to direct use. For other candidates, the course can be used to gain entry to a Higher Education institution. All candidates taking the Higher Mathematics exam, whatever their career aspirations, should acquire an enhanced awareness of the importance of mathematics to technology and to society in general.

COURSE CONTENT
The Mathematics syllabus is designed to build upon prior learning in the areas of algebra, geometry and trigonometry, and to introduce candidates to elementary calculus.
Mathematics 1 (H), Mathematics 2 (H) and Mathematics 3 (H) are progressive units, each unit covering the range of mathematical topics described above.

The outcomes and the performance criteria for each unit are statements of basic competence. Additionally, 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.

Maths tuition students will be able to demonstrate attainment in the algebraic, trigonometric and calculus content of the course without the use of computer software or sophisticated calculators. .
