Higher Mathematics focuses on a number of key themes from National 5 Mathematics, namely:
Algebraic thinking
(brackets, factorising, indices, trig. identities, equations, changing the subject of a formula)Geometry
(straight line, quadratics, trig. graphs)Number skills
(fractions, surds, indices)
Note that not all National 5 Mathematics skills are relevant to Higher Mathematics.
Percentages, statistics, volumes, trig. rules & arcs/sectors do not appear in the Higher curriculum.
