Pupils working towards a National 3/4 Applications of Mathematics qualification will experience a more personalised curriculum.

They will work at an individual appropriate pace of learning to ensure they experience appropriate challenge and support.

Both the National 3 & National 4 qualifications are achieved by passing SQA unit assessments, the majority of which will be sat using the online platform, SQA Solar.

The majority of pupils will complete the National 3 qualification first, before attempting National 4.

The required unit assessments for each qualification are listed below:

If a pupil completes both qualifications, they will only be presented for National 4.

Should a pupil only partially complete the National 4 qualification, they will be presented for National 3 Applications but also be given credit for the National 4 units they have achieved.

Similarly, should any pupils achieve the National 5 Numeracy unit, they will get this additional unit to their National 4 Applications qualification.
