New books for Pre-College 3 and 4 Maths

Dear Pre-college 3 and 4 parents,

This year I purchased a new textbook and practice book for Mathematics called Edexcel GCSE Maths. This is a book which prepares students for the GCSE exam, a test which can be taken at the age of 16 and is available at two different levels. We will use this book for a minimum of two years. Do not worry; I do not plan to finish all these topics within this school year.
The textbook includes a CD which is the electronic version of the whole book. Students must keep the CD at home and the textbook at school. This way they do not have to carry this heavy book almost every day. The practice book is rather skinny so students can bring it to class and back home again. I hope that students in Pre-college 3 and 4 will achieve good skills and knowledge of maths by using these new and ‘student friendly’ books. In addition, I have plenty of additional resources which will accompany the topics.

This year I also bought some books for Extra Maths. These are series of books written by Martin Gardiner to challenge kids with an interest in maths. Both series include many investigations and extensions to normal class mathematics. I hope to get these books within a few days and we can enjoy the challenges.
