Over the four days, you’ll revise and consolidate your understanding of the course content for Unit 3 and 4. Each session will be dedicated to one of these topics and you will complete a series of questions that have been seen on past papers and be shown how to approach these questions.

This course is designed as an interactive by Teams-based workshops and is delivered by highly experienced senior Mathematics Methods teachers.
