Home Schooling Maths / Mathematics GCSE - The Course

The Maths GCSE course gently guides the student through basic mathematical skills, progressing onto more advanced material as the student's skills and abilities develop. The course is divided into two parts: the first is for all students; the second is for those who will be taking the Higher tier of the examination.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study.

Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

There are thirteen tutor-marked assignments and a practice exam paper.

The course covers the entire syllabus in 13 modules, with a 14th on the examination:
