INTERMEDIATE 2
Entry Level:
Standard Grade Mathematics at General level in both elements.
Summary of Course Content
The course is made up of three units:
Unit INT2/1: This unit involves - Percentages, Volume of
Solids, Linear Relationships Algebraic Operations, Properties
of a Circle.
Unit INT2/2: This unit involves - Trigonometry, Simultaneous
Linear Equations, Graphs Charts and Tables, Statistics and
Probability.
Unit INT2/3: This unit involves - Further Algebraic Operations,
Quadratic Function, Further Trigonometry.
Assessment & Examinations
Each unit will be assessed internally by means of an end of
unit test. There is also an external exam, which is used to
determine the grade (A, B or C). The external exam will be
split into two papers.
Paper 1 (45 minutes) will test mathematical skills without
the use of a calculator.
Paper 2 (1½ hours) will test all topics.
A Scientific calculator will be required for this paper.
Pupils must pass all the unit tests and the external exam
to gain a course award.
Folio/Project Work:
None required.
