Maths Nat 4
Mathematics is important in everyday life, allowing us to make sense of the world around us and to manage our lives.
This course would be most suited to students who do not have a Level 4 qualification in Mathematics and are looking to study Mathematics to Level 5 or beyond. This would be the best first step on that path.
The course will help you to develop mathematical skills relevant to learning, life and work in an engaging and enjoyable way.
Application of Maths Nat 5
The National 5 Applications of Mathematics course explores the applications of mathematical techniques and skills in everyday situations, including financial matters, statistics, and measurement. The skills, knowledge and understanding in the course also support learning in other curriculum areas, such as technology, health and wellbeing, science, and social studies.4
