Contains an accessible page design, with controlled language and readability levels to match the requirements of the students undertaking this qualification. The Teacher File contains activities that build upon areas of work given in the Student Book. This Student Book and accompanying Teacher File provide resources for revised specifications.
Entry Level Mathematics text book provides both student and teacher with complete coverage of the Entry Level Mathematics specification. Written by highly-respected authors, every aspect of the specification is covered in detail. Entry Level Mathematics text book will guide the student and teacher through the specification in a systematic and concise fashion, and will become a vital element of student success. The text book is organised into self-contained Units ideal for motivating students and increasing confidence. It has parallel calculator and non-calculator exercises, focused topisc for each Unit with interactive questions to closely engage the students and an added attention to the language level to ensure the text is accessible. It is adaptable to a GCSE Foundation class, a whole Entry Level Mathematics class or on an individual basis. This book contains references to worksheets provided by the teacher's resource.
Comprising three Worksheet Packs and a textbook, this title is useful for the Adult Numeracy Curriculum, covering Entry Levels 1, 2 and 3 and Levels 1 and 2. All topics are clearly labelled with a curriculum reference to assist with planning.
Basic maths for dummies offers the content people need to improve their basic maths skills. Filled with real world examples and written by a mathematician who specialises in tutoring adults and students, the book also provides practical advice on overcoming maths anxiety and a host of tips, tricks and memory aids.
Learn to: Master maths with more than 2,000 practice questions Add, subtract, multiply and divide with confidence Work with decimals, fractions and percentages Size up weights and measures Fun, friendly coaching and all the practice you need to tackle maths problems with confidence and ease In his popular Basic Maths For Dummies, professional maths tutor Colin Beveridge proved that he could turn anyone even the most maths-phobic person into a natural-born number cruncher. In this book he supplies more of his unique brand of maths-made-easy coaching, plus 2,000 practice problems to help you master what you learn. Whether you're prepping for a numeracy test or an employability exam, thinking of returning to school, or you'd just like to be one of those know-it-alls who says, 'Oh, that's easy!' about any maths problem that comes your way, this book is for you. Master basic arithmetic, fast in no time, solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems will seem as easy as tying your shoes Face down fractions you'll never again feel shy around fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios Juggle weights and measures like a pro whether it's a question of how much it weighs, how long (or far) it is, or how much it costs, you'll never be at a loss for an answer Make shapes your playthings circles, squares, triangles and rectangles you'll measure them, draw them and manipulate them with ease Open the book and find: 2,000 pencil-and-paper practice problems The keys to mastering addition, subtraction, multiplication and division The lowdown on fractions, decimals and percentages Basic geometry made easy How to handle weights, measures and money problems How to read charts, tables and graphs at a glance
The purpose of this handbook is to help launch institutional transformations in mathematics departments to improve student success. We report findings from the Student Engagement in Mathematics through an Institutional Network for Active Learning (SEMINAL) study. SEMINAL's purpose is to help change agents, those looking to (or currently attempting to) enact change within mathematics departments and beyond—trying to reform the instruction of their lower division mathematics courses in order to promote high achievement for all students. SEMINAL specifically studies the change mechanisms that allow postsecondary institutions to incorporate and sustain active learning in Precalculus to Calculus 2 learning environments. Out of the approximately 2.5 million students enrolled in collegiate mathematics courses each year, over 90% are enrolled in Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses. Forty-four percent of mathematics departments think active learning mathematics strategies are important for Precalculus to Calculus 2 courses, but only 15 percnt state that they are very successful at implementing them. Therefore, insights into the following research question will help with institutional transformations: What conditions, strategies, interventions and actions at the departmental and classroom levels contribute to the initiation, implementation, and institutional sustainability of active learning in the undergraduate calculus sequence (Precalculus to Calculus 2) across varied institutions?
