Preparing for High School Maths

Preparing for High School Maths is a course book which has been written for:

  • learners in the later years of primary school who want to make sure that they are fully prepared to begin secondary school Maths;
  • students in the early years of secondary school who need revision and extra practice in basic Maths skills;
  • schools offering bridging courses or remedial classes in Maths;
  • teacher-education colleges and institutions.

Preparing for High School Maths is:

  • UNIQUE (in South Africa) in the way in which this book focuses on and explains key Maths concepts and skills.
  • DIAGNOSTIC. Simple tests determine the skills areas which are causing problems.
  • REMEDIAL. It provides an impressive range of exercises to improve learner understanding.
  • TEACHER-FRIENDLY. It contains sufficient tests and mini-examinations (with answers) to provide all the evaluation instruments the teacher might require.
  • a SELF-HELP book. Simple explanations allow the learner to get to grips with the different mathematical operations.
  • ARITHMETIC. It emphasises the operations learners need to know before they move on to algebra.
  • COURSE-DESIGNED, in that it does not set out to cover a whole year's syllabus.

Ten important skills areas are covered, including a complete chapter on problem-solving. View a full table of contents in PDF form.

Each chapter consists of:

  • a checklist of skills to be developed;
  • a diagnostic test which allows shortcomings to be identified easily;
  • clear step-by-step explanations of key processes and skills;
  • worked examples on the application of the skills;
  • a set of practice exercises to test understanding;
  • a set of extension questions requiring further application of the skills developed within the chapter.

Eight multiple-choice assessment tasks provide immediate feedback on progress of skills development.

Answers to all exercises, tests and assessment tasks are provided.
