Below you will find video lessons for the Higher Mathematics course that can be shared with your pupils.
You may wish to use these lessons in a variety of ways;
1. For Flipped Learning
2. To help pupils catch up on work missed through absence
3. Revision for assessments
4. Help with homework
Simply copy and paste the URL's into your desired platform, e.g. Google Classroom, Show my Homework, Glow, Edmodo, etc.
Each video lesson contains worked examples and questions for the pupils to try. Pupils should copy the worked examples and attempt the questions. They are then provided with the answers and should correct their work. They could then bring in any questions they have about the video lesson to ask their teacher.
This resource covers the full CfE course but is aligned to the "old Higher" - feel free to choose your own order!
The lessons are set at 3 levels of difficulty; bronze, silver and gold. Feel free to choose the appropriate level(s) to meet the needs of your pupils.
