Engage and motivate your Level 3 Mathematical Studies students, and deliver the new specification with confidence. Authentic real-life examples and ready to use data sets from a range of contexts develop mathematical skills and understanding. This book brings the subject to life by putting mathematics in context and showing its power and relevance in the real world; closely matches the new AQA Mathematical Studies specification, with separate sections for compulsory units and optional pathways; covers all ability levels within the A* to C range at GCSE; encourages students to become effective problem solvers with a willingness to test out their ideas; competence statements at the end of each chapter allow students to measure their own progress; and includes a section on pre-release data to support students in their exam preparation.
