At Merthyr we teach the GCSE mathematics qualification at Intermediate level. This will give you the opportunity to achieve at least a C grade and with hard work possibly a B grade. The course comprises of 2 hours of teaching a week assisted by online videos to help ensure you fully understand the content covered.
We generally require a previous D grade in GCSE maths. However we do on occasion accept students with lower grade profiles after discussion with the course tutor.
We follow the WJEC Mathematics intermediate course syllabus. Topics covered include Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Shape & Space.
The course will be assessed by two formal examinations in the summer term. Unit 1 will be non-calculator & Unit 2 will be calculator. Regular informal assessments will also occur over the course of the year.
A grade C in mathematics will open up a variety of options to both study courses within the college along with enhanced future career opportunities.
