A brand new approach to Foundation Mathematics, this book is specifically designed for the M2–M6 pathway of the CCEA GCSE Mathematics specification, including the material from M1/M5 at a level appropriate for an M2/M6 student. It has been designed to be straightforward for students to follow, by not requiring annotation to indicate the relevance of each section of material.Based on teacher feedback, it contains a large number of questions so it can be tailored to need. Every four chapters there is a Progress Review exercise for students to check their learning. Answers to all exercises are available online at the following link: http://www.colourpointeducational.com/media/content/AnswersM2M6Colourpoint.pdfContents:M21: Working With Integers; 2: Working With Decimals; 3: Rounding; 4: Working With Fractions; 5: Percentages And Proportional Change; 6: Finance; 7: Expanding Brackets;8: Factorisation; 9: Simple Function Machines; 10: Linear Equations In One Unknown; 11: Coordinate Geometry; 12: Real-Life Linear Graphs; 13: Compound Measure; 14: Perimeter And Area; 15: Volumes Of Right Prisms; 16: Pythagoras’ Theorem; 17: Venn Diagrams; 18: Statistical Averages And Spread; 19: Statistical Diagrams; 20: Scatter Graphs;M621: Number Systems; 22: Indices; 23: Trial And Improvement; 24: Inequalities; 25: Formulae; 26: Sequences; 27: Graphical Solution Of Simultaneous Equations; 28: Quadratic Graphs; 29: Bearings; 30: Polygons; 31: Symmetry And Transformations; 32: Construction And Loci; 33: Probability

This comprehensive resource is designed to extend the content of the textbook Mathematics for M3 and M7 for CCEA GCSE by covering the additional requirements of unit M4 of the CCEA GCSE Mathematics specification. It has been designed to be straightforward for students to follow, by not requiring annotation to indicate the relevance of each section of material. The book can be used by those studying the M4/M7 or M4/M8 pathway. For each topic, the book begins with a logical explanation of the theory, examples to reinforce the explanation, and any key words and definitions that are required. The material then flows into exercises, before introducing the next topic. In this way, the student is guided through the subject. The book contains a large number of exercises in order to provide teachers with as much flexibility as possible for their students. There are two Progress Review exercises for students to check their learning.
