The best resource for our pupils to use for revision is our Maths/Numeracy Workouts. This is an interactive resource that enables young people to practise the skills they require.

We have moved from the old style of Maths/Numeracy Workouts to a new style. Please find the links below. Login details are available from class teachers.
For advice on using the workouts with a tablet please follow this link: http://www.mathsworkout.co.uk/tablets.php 

Progression in Mathematics

Progress in Maths is heavily linked to how pupils develop and succeed at their current level. For example, pupils cannot look to achieve Higher Mathematics without having first achieved National 5 Mathematics. This is true for all levels of study on offer at Prestwick Academy. 

Revision Techniques

All of our pupils have to revise at some point in preperation for tests and exams. These files have tips and advice for all pupils on how best to study:
