Key features of this book include:
Sheila Evansis a tutor at Derby University, teaching Maths to Access students and supporting students with dyslexia and dyscalculia with the Maths on their degree courses. This is her second publication.
Key features of this book include:
- Relevance:The book is packed with real-life examples that students encounter in their everyday lives from working out how long you need to be on the treadmill to work off a bar of chocolate to the formula for true happiness.
- Differentiation:The book includes techniques such as open-ended questions to cater for a range of abilities, from students who have already achieved a good grade at GCSE but need to refresh their skills to those who go into a cold sweat at the very thought of fractions.
- Variety of work:Not everybody likes to learn the same way, so this book contains a variety of different learning methods: project work, investigations and group work, as well as questions and examples suitable for self-study or classroom learning.
- Key terms:Mathematical terms can often be a stumbling block to learning. Throughout this book key terms are clearly highlighted and explained.
- Bringing it all together:At the end of each of the subject areas there is a section devoted to bringing together all of the learnt skills and applying them to a variety of real-life problems.
