Exciting Books for AS:Use of Mathematics

This exciting series of books covers four of the components of AS:Use of Mathematics. The experienced team of authors were all involved in the development of this qualification and the team leader, Geoff Wake, designed all of the units for QCA and is a Principal Examiner for Applying Mathematics and AS:Use of Mathematics.

The series is published by Nelson Thornes and comprises three books each supported by a resource pack. Students studying AS:Use of Mathematics will need two of the three books.

The main features of each book include:

• introduction and development of mathematical concepts through real-life situations;
• interesting discussion points that enhance and extend the topics covered;
• sections highlighting the key mathematical points in each chapter – ideal for revision;
• practice examination questions based on real-life data and contexts;
• hints and suggestions for developing coursework portfolio material based on each chapter;
• comprehension articles and sets of related questions.

Throughout the use of a graphic calculator is expected and the use of spreadsheets encouraged.

Each resource pack contains a comprehensive range of support materials including Resource Sheets that link to activities in the book, Skills Practice Sheets for practice of mathematical techniques and a wide variety of spreadsheets.

You can purchase these books from the Nelson Thornes website. If you type 'AS Use of Maths' into the search engine, a list of the publications will be displayed.
