Madras College St Andrews		Mathematics Welcome to the Department of Mathematics   Visit the Mathematics Department Home Page .   Mathematics is one of the core subjects for all pupils in S1 - S4. Our courses follow the national 5 - 14 guidelines in S1/S2 and the Standard Grade arrangements in S3/S4. In S5/S6 pupils may choose to continue with Maths at Higher level or to take one of the Intermediate levels, in which the starting point is determined by their level of previous attainment. In S6 we offer a selection of Advanced Higher Courses. In addition to these courses, we encourage all pupils to participate in some of the wide range of national and international competitions available. We see this as an important form of stimulation and enrichment with potential benefits for all pupils, not just the very able. We also run a lunchtime Maths club for younger pupils. We are conscious that the rapid advances in computing technology and projection systems will open up new opportunities for developing genuine mathematical thinking in our classrooms and we are keen to respond imaginatively to these possibilities. We are also trying to find ways of using the Internet productively in all our courses. One of the results of this effort is to be seen in the Home Learning section of this WebSite Staff Mrs C.
