Customer Reviews

A really useful book!
I use this book as a main text for adults preparing for level 1 and level 2 adult numeracy tests (it is less useful for Entry 3 students). It is comprehensively referenced to the Core Curriculum which helps to keep my teaching on track and makes paperwork less of a chore. I have found the level and style of questions to be exactly right for the adults I teach and the plentiful examples throughout help students take control of their own learning. One of the most useful resources I have found.

The Holy Grail
This book is terrific. I'm a Maths phobic, 3 failures at O Level (yes I'm quite old...) and I needed the Level 2 Numeracy qualification to do teaching. Two intensive weeks of revision and working through this book and the exercises at the end of it lead to ...a pass! One of my happiest moments exam-wise and not possible without the help of this superb, key text. Thanks ladies I owe you one.

Excellent Text
This is an excellent resource for teachers of adult numeracy. Friendly than Llewlynn and Greer, which it has replaced as my main source text . Very useful is the ordering by curriculum reference. Recommended
