Abstract
Straightforward design with a clear pedagogy and coherent approach
The only project book written to match the Edexcel Level 3 Mathematics in Context (Core Maths) specification
Designed using evidence-based best practice for context-based learning, to show the real-life connections across and within each area of maths
Encourages students to take their learning as far as they can through ÔexploreÕ questions
Develops confidence by beginning with shorter guided tasks, and moving on to more expansive, minimally guided tasks
Engages students through a large number of real world contexts, data sources, and real life questions that relate to each specification point
Supports the maths needed in other Level 3 qualifications.
