Please Note – A scientific or graphics calculator is necessary for this course. A TI-83 or TI 84 graphics calculator will be required for Higher and is recommended for S4 credit work.

Folio/Project Work
None required but some topics will be introduced by an Investigational Approach and others will incorporate coursework tasks to show real life situations.

Course Assessment
Progress is monitored by continuous assessment at the end of each unit.

Examinations:
Formal examinations are given in May of S3 & in January of S4.
There will be two papers at each level both testing the elements. K.U. (Knowledge and Understanding) and
R.E. (Reasoning and Enquiry).
Paper 1: Mathematical content without the use of a calculator.
Paper 2: Mathematical content where a calculator is essential.

Pupils will sit examinations at two levels:
either Foundation/General or General/Credit.
