New Online Maths Resource for Leaving Certificate Students

mathsGreat to see Galway Education Centre and Athenry Maths Academy linking up with online learning company ALISON, to launch a free interactive maths resource. Targeted at students of the Leaving Certificate (L.C.) maths curriculum, it covers ‘strand one’ of the L.C. Project Maths Syllabus – probability and statistics.

The online course offering is free to access and includes video lectures with interactive lessons from tutors and teachers. It is anticipated that if students find the resource valuable, then the remaining four strands of the syllabus will be available later in 2013.

Congratulations to all concerned! To access the maths resource, visit http://alison.com/maths/.
