A course to work through

About 23 hours of guided lessons, plus independent practice and practical investigations. Work at the learner’s pace, revisit explanations and use the second unit test after revision.

Original teaching and practice aligned to the referenced Stage 5 framework. The tests are Find Tutor resources, not official Cambridge papers.

Choose the right starting point

Stage 5 is typically for ages 9–10; check the learner’s curriculum and prior knowledge. Reasoning and practical work need discussion with a tutor.
