Senior Cycle Mathematics Curriculum Higher Level 2007 Paper 1 | Solutions | 2007 Paper 2 | Solutions The Higher course is aimed at the more able students. Students may choose it because it caters for their needs and aspirations as regards careers or further study, or because they have a special interest in mathematics. The course offers opportunities for the students to deepen their understanding of mathematical ideas and to encounter more of the powerful concepts and methods that have made mathematics important. Particular emphasis can be given to aims concerned with problem-solving, abstracting, generalising and proving. Due attention should be given to the maintenance of the more basic skills. However, it may be assumed that some of the aims regarding the use of mathematics in everyday life and work have been achieved in the Junior Cycle; they are therefore less prominent at this level.

Ordinary Level 2007 Paper 1 | Solutions | 2007 Paper 2 | Solutions For many ordinary level students, mathematics is essentially a service subject - providing knowledge and techniques that will be needed in future study of scientific, economic, business and technical subjects. For others, the course may provide their last formal encounter with mathematics. The course moves gradually from the relatively concrete and practical to more abstract and general concepts. Particular emphasis can be given to aims concerned with the use of mathematics. Due attention should be given to maintenance of the more basic skills, especially in application of arithmetic and algebra. Click here for a full outline of the Ordinary Level Course. Foundation Level 2007 Paper 1 | Solutions | 2007 Paper 2 | Solutions The Foundation course is intended to equip students with the knowledge and techniques required in everyday life and in various kinds of employment. It is also intended to lay the groundwork for students who proceed to further education and training where specialist mathematics is not required. Basic knowledge is maintained and enhanced by being approached in an exploratory and reflective manner. Computational work is balanced by emphasis on the visual and spatial. Particular emphasis can be placed on the aims concerned with the use of mathematics in everyday life and work - especially as regards intelligent and proficient use of calculators - and with the recognition of mathematics in the environment. The Higher and Ordinary Level syllabuses each consist of a core and four options, with the intention that students will study all of the core and one of the options. The Foundation Level syllabus does not include such optional material - it is intended that students of this course should study all of the syllabus material. |
