Mathematics

Mathematics is rich and stimulating and develops logical reasoning, analysis, problem solving skills, creativity and the ability to think in abstract ways.

Mathematics qualifications at National 4 & 5 cover a broad range of skills & topics to cater for a wide variety of future education, training or employment.

As the qualification level rises (e.g. Higher & Advanced Higher), the breadth of skills covered narrows & focuses on more abstract & theoretical aspects, whilst maintaining a focus on problem solving, reasoning & analysis.

Careers involving Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths (STEM) often require some form of entry qualification in Mathematics.
