Part of the ST(P) graded series in mathematics, this book is intended for use in the third year of secondary schools, to enable pupils to achieve about Level 6 of the National Curriculum in mathematics for Key Stage 3. Some of the work covered goes beyond Level 6, in preparation for Key Stage 4 at the age of 16+. The exercises are divided into three types of question. The first kind is aimed at helping pupils to understand the work, the second is for quicker workers, for extra practice or for later revision and the third is slightly more difficult, for those who have managed the first type fairly easily.

 

This book is at the following key stages: Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 . A key stage is any of the fixed stages into which the national curriculum is divided, each having its own prescribed course of study. At the end of each stage, pupils are required to complete standard assessment tasks. KS3 covers school years 7, 8 and 9, and ages 12-14 years. KS4 covers school years 10 and 11, and ages 15-16 years.

There are 400 pages in this book. This book was published 1991 by Oxford University Press .
