Abstract

Edexcel's own course for the GCE specification. Providing the best possible match to the specification, Edexcel AS and A Level Modular Mathematics FP3 motivates students by making maths easier to learn. Completely re-written by chief examiners for the specification, it provides student-friendly worked examples and solutions, leading up to a wealth of practice questions. Sample past exam papers for thorough exam preparation, and regular review sections that help consolidate learning are included. Opportunities for stretch and challenge are presented throughout the course. Also included is an interactive FREE LiveText CD-ROM, containing Solutionbank and Exam Cafe to support and inspire students to reach their potential for exam success. Solutionbank contains fully worked solutions with hints and tips for every question in the Student Book. Exam Cafe includes a revision planner and checklist as well as a fully worked examination-style paper with chief examiner's commentary
