Created in partnership with White Rose Maths, student book 1 for KS3 Maths follows the White Rose schemes of learning for Year 7 where mathematical concepts are broken down into small steps to help all pupils make progress. Written by White Rose teachers, it helps develop confident and capable mathematicians who can do and enjoy key stage 3 maths.
The only official KS3 Maths White Rose textbook provides a UK-specific approach, which has been taught and refined in the classroom. It has been carefully planned and sequenced to support students as they progress through KS3 and prepare for GCSE.
It helps all students to:
- Experience a smooth and successful transition from KS2 to KS3 Maths that builds on ability and progress in primary maths
- Master topics with content broken down into small, manageable steps which is interleaved and revisited in other contexts to aid memory and make connections
- Secure conceptual understanding with models and visual representations
- Embed strong mathematical foundations with detailed and clear explanations
- Build fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills with plenty of practice questions
- Practise purposefully for deep understanding with 'What do you think?' tasks
- Reinforce learning with consolidation questions
- Deepen knowledge with stretch questions
- Boost progression with reflection questions
- Check answers at the back of the book
Accompanied by high-quality professional development courses for teachers provided by White RoseMaths
