About this title

From the Back Cover:

These three books cover all of the material required by the new GCSE syllabuses. The books are made up of short sections that provide useful short-term goals for pupils and allow teachers to match the books easily to their own course.

Written specifically for the new GCSE syllabuses.

· Lead author, Brian Speed, is the Chief Examiner for NEAB.
· Exceptional support for Coursework and 100% terminal-examination Options (NEAB syllabuses A and B).
· Continual emphasis on developing mathematical skills.
· Full examination-style tests written by the Chief Examiner.
· Hundreds of exercises.

Throughout the books, maths is applied to everyday contexts and genuinely interesting situations in the real world.

'Foundation Mathmatics for GCSE' is designed to support Foundation tier students more than any other text you can buy at this level. It includes:
· Careful introductions to assess what your students already know. These are often practical activities that engage students' interest, often based around pictures and graphics rather than text.
· Structured worked examples – taking great care over language and mathematical development.
· Basic skills, written into the entire course.
· Coursework tasks.
· Chapter checklists.
· Plenty of examination practice.
· 'Number-tricks' and 'Puzzle sections' to emphasise patterns in number and raise involvement.
· Revision 'Tests' after every three or four chapters. Students can work through the course with short-term, achievable goals.
