The third edition fully covers both Core and Extended content through the ‘spiral’ approach, where students build on their previous learning as they progress through the course. In addition to a wealth of practice questions and support for English as a second language learners, we have included a number of projects to encourage students to put their theory into practice provided by NRICH – a collaboration between the Faculties of Mathematics and Education at the University of Cambridge. Answers are available on Cambridge GO.
Features
- Written by an experienced author and teaching team, who have written the previous first and second editions.
- Covers both Core and Extended parts of the syllabus in one book to help with differentiation in the classroom, with Extended content clearly signposted.
- ‘Mathematical connections’ feature boxes help learners make connections across different topics whilst working through the chapters of the book.
- ‘Investigation’ activities encourage students to extend their learning by investigating a real-life example, or by discussing it with classmates.
- New Project activities created by NRICH help students put their learning into practice and develop their problem solving and collaboration skills.
- Clear worked examples with visual representations aid learning of challenging areas.
- A wealth of practice questions help students develop key mathematical skills and help prepare for assessment.
- Support for English as a second language learners with defined key terms and a clear language of instruction.
- Answers are available on Cambridge GO.
