Certificate Course (Bk. 5) (Understanding mathematics) - Softcover

Understanding Mathematics has been widely adopted by schools throughout the UK and has proved highly successful. This second edition has been revised in the light of the National Curriculum in Mathematics. Books 1-3 cover the requirements of Key Stage 3 to Level 8. Books 4 and 5 form a comprehensive course to GCSE, covering National
Curriculum Key Stage 4 to Level 10.
Each book in the series is supported by a Teachers' Resource Book, containing the
answers and essential teaching and assessment aids, all fully matched to the National Curriculum Attainment Targets, together with a wealth of photocopiable resources.
The pupils' book for each year provides the following key features.

* Content, organisation, development and presentation are based on recent research
findings on concept development and readability, coupled with extensive class testing and feedback from users of the first edition.

* Topics are developed in exercises, most of which include a You need to know revision section with Test Yourself exercises, followed by common core, reinforcement, development and extension questions.

* Revision is built into the exercises, and reinforced by aural tests, weekly papers and a glossary.

* Calculator and optional computer program usage are integrated into the course of work.

This new edition of Book 4 includes:

* topics reordered to align with the revised National Curriculum beginning at Level 5

* core Level 10 topics introduced to allow them to be revisited in Year 11

* additional topics on Everyday Arithmetic, Sequences and nth terms, Inequalities and Representations

* additional questions for intermediate (Levels 5 to 8) pupils

* greater emphasis on the financial mathematics needed in everyday life)
