Not entirely brilliant

I'm afraid I have to disagree with the views set forth elsewhere. As a maths tutor I was disappointed with this book. It gives no sense of number, just a robotic approach to operations like fractions, number placement and decimals. Ok, it sets forth everything in a logical chain, but there is no sense of understanding put forward or any figuring out to be done to engage the mind. Yes, it may well get you practised for passing exams, since it contains all the techniques you need, but maths is more than just methods.

In the last three years I have gone back to the classroom to brush up on my basic maths skills as I didn't want to let my son's down when they started asking how to do certain maths problems. With the help of this wonderful book it has guided me through the different levels needed to pass my City and Guilds 2 and 3 exams with distinction's. The book will now be passed down to my son's as it covers all topics needed up to GCSE level. I would definately recommend this to anyone going back to the classroom who needs an easy to follow text book.

Excellent for pre GCSE basics

Fantastic! All you need before GCSE Mathematics. As a private tutor I have used this book with several pupils in order to cover all the material needed before starting GCSE. Parents have commented that the explanations are clear enabling them to understand and help their children. This is the ONLY book you need for this level of study.
