Course Description

Many universities and employers ask for GCSE Mathematics - Numeracy at Grade C or above. If you have not achieved this whilst at school, Grŵp Llandrillo Menai will provide opportunities for you to improve your grades, to enable you to progress onto the appropriate further or higher education programme, or into employment.

Perhaps you just wish to study Numeracy for the joy of learning and the love of the subject? You will be very welcome on our course!

What’s the difference between GCSE Mathematics-Numeracy and GCSE Mathematics?

  • GCSE Mathematics-Numeracy will assess the mathematics that you will need and use in everyday life and the world of work
  • GCSE Mathematics will extend to aspects of mathematics needed for progression to scientific, technical or further mathematical study.

Who is the course aimed at?

Anyone interested in gaining a GCSE or wanting to improve on a previously achieved grade.

Many topics will be covered over the length of the course, with all topics being studied with an everyday context. Topics will include:
