The 26 exercises and four tests in this mathematics workbook for Caribbean schools are designed to reinforce the exercises in "New Common Entrance Mathematics". Each test consists of 100 questions similar to those which are set in the Common Entrance Examination. The book can be used by parents who would like to assist their children at home, and by teachers who give extra tuition. It can also be used as a foundation for pupils beginning a secondary-school course. A separate answer book, with many worked solutions, is available for teachers and parents.
