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 
• understand and use a range of complex mathematical concepts and relationships
