Introduction
As a University of Bolton student, you have access to Boost, the STEM practice and tutorial platform designed to strengthen your foundational maths skills. Boost offers a range of short tutorial videos and practice questions tailored to support your course success.
Additionally, below you'll find four sections covering fundamental maths topics, each with tutorials and activities provided by BBC Bitesize. After working through these tutorials, you can check your understanding by completing a Moodle Quiz. To begin, log in to Moodle, click 'Enrol me,' and find the relevant quiz. Once you pass, you’ll earn a digital badge in Moodle as evidence of your progress.
