Many people find National 5 Maths very demanding, particularly if they have not recently studied Maths, and achieving National 5 Maths in a single academic year can be extremely challenging. This course is specifically designed to address that problem and it is aimed at those candidates who already have a Maths qualification at National 4 level (or equivalent), and who want to do National 5 Maths but need a little bit more time to develop their skills and absorb some of the complex concepts introduced in the National 5 Maths course.

The course will build upon and extend your existing knowledge of mathematics, and you will undertake National 5 level work as you develop the key mathematical skills required to prepare you for the rigours of the National 5 Mathematics course.

You will complete two SQA National 5 Maths units, covering a broad range of topics including volume of solids, area of sectors, significant figures, scientific notation, straight lines, algebraic techniques, surds, indices, quadratics, simultaneous equations & trigonometry.
