Maths SCQF 4 (Online Virtual Classroom) National 4
What is special about this course?
The general aim of this course is to develop skills linked to straightforward mathematical expressions and formulae. These include the manipulation of abstract terms, the simplification of expressions and the evaluation of formulae. The outcomes cover aspects of algebra, geometry, statistics and reasoning.
Entry requirements
- No formal academic qualifications are required but a desire to progress to further education or work is essential.
- Mathematics: Relationships
The general aim of this Unit is to develop skills linked to straightforward mathematical relationships. These include solving equations, understanding graphs and working with trigonometric ratios. The Outcomes cover aspects of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics and reasoning. - Numeracy
The general aim of this Unit is to develop learners’ numerical and information-handling skills to solve straightforward, real-life problems involving number, money, time and measurement. As learners tackle real-life problems, they will decide what numeracy skills to use and how to apply these skills to an appropriate level of accuracy. Learners will also interpret graphical data and use their knowledge and understanding of probability to identify solutions to straightforward real-life problems involving money, time and measurement. Learners will use their solutions to make and explain decisions. - Mathematics Test
This is the added value unit of the National 4 Mathematics course. The general aim of this unit is to enable the learner to provide evidence of added value for the National 4 Mathematics course through the successful completion of a test which will allow the learner to demonstrate breadth and challenge. Breadth and challenge will be demonstrated through the use and integration of mathematical ideas and strategies linked to straightforward mathematical expressions, formulae and relationships. This will include the application of algebraic, geometric, trigonometric, statistical and reasoning skills. Numerical skills underpin all aspects of the Course, and the ability to use these without the aid of a calculator will also be assessed.
Conditions of award to achieve the National 4 Mathematics course, learners must pass all of the required units, including the added value unit.
