Product Description

This is significantly different to other mathematics books: aiming to help parents, students and teachers with working at home. It aims to explain the underlying reasons behind the theory of mathematics. Mathematics is not a series of un-connected hoops which the reader must jump through whether or not they understand why they are jumping through those hoops.

Arranged by topic, the Secondary Maths Handbook can be used sequentially following schoolwork to ensure that:

- pupils understand each topic before progressing to the next, ensuring there are no gaps in their knowledge and building confidence that they can be independent learners
- parents can revise (or learn!) a topic to help their children learn
- teachers can use it to set homework or recommend for pupils with difficulties as an alternative way of learning.

Learning maths without a teacher5
This book is a fantastic resource for learning methods up to B grade in maths. I suggest this book to my pupils to support their learning out of school.
