Level 2 Mathematics with Flexibility
2MFLX Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr J. Thomson
Recommended Prior LearningStudents must have achieved at least 10 credits from Level 1 Mathematics, it would be unrealistic to attempt any Level 2 Mathematics standards unless you have experienced success at Level 1.
This is a Level 2 Mathematics and Statistics course designed to give students complete flexibility over which standards they study. At the start of the year, students will decide what they want to study, depending on their own individual pathways or abilities. They can then follow that programme entirely at their own pace and will sit assessments only when they and their teacher think they are ready.
A Flipped Learning model is followed where students will learn from a combination of videos, teacher support, workbooks, group activities ... whichever best suits their strongest learning style. A specialist teacher will always be available, to provide one on one help and advice.
The Standards which are covered in the Level 2 Calculus and Statistics courses are available here and a maximum of 18 credits is recommended. This course is intended for any student who is ready to study Maths at Level 2.
