Includes exercises with a variety of questions, including practice, investigatory, reasoning and problem-solving questions which gradually increase in difficulty, and link together sections and topics to develop fluency of mathematics, problem solving and reasoning skills.
Exam-style questions to prepare students for assessment at the end of the two year linear course.
Real life relevancy - chapters will begin with how the content of the chapter relates to work, linking to an example image and quote.
‘Before you start’ questions at the beginning of every chapter on each concept assess whether students can recall the necessary knowledge and skills required.
Calculator tips included.
A ‘Work it out’ feature will help draw out misconceptions. Featuring a set question or a problem with three possible solutions and one correct answer, containing common errors to act as teaching points.
Every chapter includes a summary of the subject content covered in the chapter and a checklist against which students can check their knowledge and understanding in order to identify any gaps.
End of chapter review questions act as summative assessment and revision.
Split across 2 tiers – Foundation and Higher.
