Flashcards for SQA National 5 Applications of Mathematics (C844 75), split into the course specification's own skill areas, numeracy, financial, statistical, measurement, geometric, graphical data, probability and reasoning, and then by topic within each area. Worked examples use their own made-up numbers, not past exam questions.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
