Publisher's Synopsis
Year 9 marks a crucial transition from "exploring" mathematics in the lower school to the pressures of external assessment - starting with SATs at the end of Key Stage 3. Aiming to meet the challenge that GCSE presents, this text helps develop students' understanding of mathematics. It uses a structured, yet varied, approach to improve attainment, prepare them for SAT's, and provide the skills and experience they need to tackle their GCSE course with confidence.
