GCSE Mathematics - Tuesday Evenings: Site Joseph Wright Centre

Course Content: You will cover work on number, shape, space and measure, geometry and statistics. You will also develop skills in problem solving and in recording your working-out in a clear and logical way. How will I be assessed? There are two examinations at the end of the course. One is a non-calculator exam and a calculator is allowed in the other. Assessment of your progress will be made throughout the year by your lecturer. There is no coursework for Maths GCSE. Are there any additional costs or specialist equipment required? You will need a scientific calculator, a pair of compasses and a protractor in addition to the usual pens, pencils, paper and ruler. We also ask you to buy a course textbook. In addition, you may find a GCSE Revision Guide of help. Access to a computer is also useful to enable you to benefit from some web-based resources. What can I do after this course? A grade C in Mathematics is often a requirement for many courses or careers. A number of our learners also undertake this course so that they can help their own children with their work in mathematics.
