TGHS Maths

 

Level 2 Mathematics

This is a full level 2 Mathematics course. Teachers should expect that students taking this course will have passed the Level 1 MCAT. Students need to be equipped to take either Statistics or Calculus at Level 3 (or both). Therefore they should be encouraged to sit all three of the externals offered – withdrawal from a standard is not normally an option.
