What is Higher Maths?
Higher Maths is made up of three main units:
  • Applications
  • Relationships and Calculus
  • Expressions and Functions
All 3 units are mandatory and the course is assessed externally by an SQA exam.  The exam is made up of 2 papers.  Paper 1 is non calculator usually 8-15 questions, lasting 1 hour 10 minutes. Paper 2 is typically  8-12 questions, lasting  1 hour 30 minutes. 

Pupils studying Higher Mathematics will develop the following skills:
  • understand and use a range of complex mathematical concepts and relationships
  • select and apply operational skills in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus and statistics within
    mathematical contexts select and apply skills in numeracy
  • use mathematical reasoning skills to extract and interpret information and to use complex mathematical models
  • use mathematical reasoning skills to think logically, provide justification or proof and solve problems
  • communicate mathematical information with complex features
