Mathematical Methods (Code: C1477)
BackThis course is designed to explore a range of approaches and alternative methods; focusing on the nine basic skills of maths that underpin everything else – addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, scale and ratio. The core principle at the heart is to explore ‘any valid mathematical method’ that will gain marks in exams.
