Student Book 9 provides comprehensive coverage of the Secondary 1 syllabus through 9 topic-based units. The series is influenced by a mastery approach, with topics being thoroughly embedded before learners move on. ' New concepts are presented through worked examples, which lead learners, step-by-step, through the concepts, with clear and detailed explanations. ' Links are made between topics, encouraging learners to build on relevant fluency from previously learnt topics, and practise mathematical concepts in a different context. ' Learners build 21st-century skills such as mental maths strategies, pattern spotting and problem solving, enabling them to talk about mathematics with confidence. ' With challenge questions integrated throughout, learners can deepen their understanding. ' Learners are encouraged to reflect on their learning, in order to build learner independence. ' The series builds on the foundations laid down in primary maths, and prepares learners for embarking on IGCSE maths. Provides learner support as part of a set of resources for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics curriculum framework from 2011.
