Overview

Endorsed for the Edexcel GCSE Mathematics Higher tier specification for first teaching from 2015, this Student Book provides full coverage of the new GCSE Mathematics qualification. With a strong focus on developing problem-solving skills, reasoning and fluency, it helps students understand concepts, apply techniques, solve problems, reason, interpret and communicate mathematically. Written by experienced teachers, it also includes a solid breadth and depth of quality questions set in a variety of contexts. GCSE Mathematics Online - an enhanced digital resource incorporating progression tracking - is also available, as well as a free Teacher's Resource, Problem-solving Books and Homework Books.

Features

  • 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.
