Summary - Coming soon!

This unit starts with two components focusing on the application of mathematics to household financial matters including the calculation of VAT, profit and loss, tax and simple interest.   Rates are explored in the context of pay along with the calculation of income tax.  Compound measures including speed and density are explored and used, tackling the conversion between these compound units.  Standard form is used to express numbers. Converting between both forms and calculations with numbers in standard form are considered in a real-life context.  The use of a calculator is supported.

What people say...

Python Challenge - if it's anything like PG Online's Learning to program in Python book, it'll be a cracker. I have spent £100's on Python books, PM Heathcote's is by far the best I have come across.

Gareth O'Hare. Head of Department, Wellington College

The worksheets are well written and the students seemed comfortable with the format. Some interesting questions too, which fit well with the new GCSE course.
