About this guide

National 5 Maths covers a lot of ground, and marks are often lost on method rather than knowledge. This guide explains every topic in plain English, with worked examples and the mistakes that cost marks.

More about this guide

It covers the course and both papers, what is and is not on the formulae list, then works through numbers, algebra, lines and equations, quadratics, geometry, vectors, trigonometry, statistics and reasoning questions.

It ends with two mixed practice sets written by Clarity, fully worked answers to every question and a topic checklist. Every answer was checked independently.
