Author Description

Oxford's best-selling "Revision and Practice" books are renowned for their clear explanations and examples supported by a wealth of practice exercises and past examination questions that build students' confidence. Expert author Mark Bindley has a particularly wide experience of lower ability teaching and so has an in-depth understanding of the special needs of Foundation level students. He has completely overhauled the old Foundation GCSE book to create a totally new book covering grades G to D. Its features include: checklists of the mathematical concepts to be covered in the unit and the prior knowledge students will need at the beginning of each unit; offers brief explanations of why we do maths and why it is essential in everyday life; numerous carefully constructed exercises and a section of ideas for longer investigations to encourage students to use and apply the mathematics they have learnt; and practice exam questions and answers.
