About us
The Faculty of Mathematics and Numeracy is made up of 9 members of staff (and one dog) who work hard to help foster the understanding of how maths and numeracy are core skills for life, through developing knowledge and applying it to real life situations, where possible. Alongside developing key mathematical knowledge, we are helping grow pupil’s abilities teamworking, communication, problem solving and leadership skills.
The Broad General Education (S1,2 & 3) in Maths
The Broad General Education (S1,2 & 3) in Maths
Our young mathematicians in S1 and S2 follow a Broad General Education course which covers a wide range of topics. This includes numeric skills, algebra, statistics, and geometry. Courses cover Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) Levels 1 to 4, depending on the attainment of each young person.
The majority of young people in S3 work on a common course until midway through S3, where they are then directed to their most appropriate pathway for National certification in S4. This will be Mathematics or Applications of Mathematics depending on the skills demonstrated and results obtained through the year.
Senior Phase (S4,5 & 6) Maths Pathways
Senior Phase (S4,5 & 6) Maths Pathways
The following courses are offered in the senior phase:
Applications of Maths (National 3, 4, 5 and Higher)
Mathematics ( National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher)
The Mathematics course has significant Algebra and Trigonometry content and is generally suited to young people who are aiming to study Maths, Science or Engineering.
Applications of Mathematics has a greater focus on Personal Finance, Statistics and Numeracy. Many of these skills are seen as belonging to more “real world” maths and may be better suited to young people wishing to study Social Subjects, Finance, Sport Science etc.
In the senior phase we offer Higher Mathematics and Higher Applications of Maths, as well as Advanced Higher Maths.
