Written for the AQA GCSE Mathematics Higher tier specification for first teaching from 2015, this print Student Book and digital bundle covers 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. Tablet-friendly rich digital content features a range of interactive walkthroughs, animations and questions. Comprehensive provision for both summative and formative assessment includes differentiated pre-set quizzes and a test generator that allows teachers to compile their own assessments, both with inbuilt reporting to track students’ progression.
