Editorial Review
Product Description
This new set of resources, comprising three Worksheet Packs and a textbook, have been designed specifically for the new Adult Numeracy Curriculum, covering Entry Levels 1, 2 and 3 and Levels 1 and 2. All topics within the resources are clearly labelled with a curriculum reference to assist with planning.

Synopsis
The textbook targets the higher levels of the Adult Numeracy Curriculum, Entry Level 3, Level 1 and Level 2. Covering all of the three subject areas of the curriculum in one book, it offers revision of Entry Level 1 and 2 topics where appropriate. Exercises progress from simple numerical questions gradually increasing in difficulty to incorporate numbers into language. Suggestions for alternative methods of learning are provided for students who are struggling to comprehend a particular topic.

From the Publisher
This is a new and updated version to the highly successful fifth edition of Maths The Basic Skills and is now supported by 3 worksheet packs, one for each subject area:
Data Handling Worksheet Pack
Measure, Shape and Space Worksheet Pack
Number Worksheet Pack

With great feedback from previous edition users, we were confident that as long as we provided relevant content with lots of applications for adults looking to improve their numeracy skills, we would continue to have a best seller on our hands.

Average rating of 5/5 The best maths book I've seen, 2007-01-04
I have used this book quite a lot when teaching in my Adult Numeracy class. I like it because of its ease of use and layout. My learners also love it and have bought it for themselves.

Average rating of 5/5 A really useful book!, 2004-12-13
I use this book as a main text for adults preparing for level 1 and level 2 adult numeracy tests (it is less useful for Entry 3 students). It is comprehensively referenced to the Core Curriculum which helps to keep my teaching on track and makes paperwork less of a chore. I have found the level and style of questions to be exactly right for the adults I teach and the plentiful examples throughout help students take control of their own learning. One of the most useful resources I have found.

Average rating of 5/5 The Holy Grail, 2005-11-13
This book is terrific. I'm a Maths phobic, 3 failures at O Level (yes I'm quite old...) and I needed the Level 2 Numeracy qualification to do teaching. Two intensive weeks of revision and working through this book and the exercises at the end of it lead to ...a pass! One of my happiest moments exam-wise and not possible without the help of this superb, key text. Thanks ladies I owe you one.

Average rating of 5/5 A top class numeracy home-study book, 2008-07-08
I bought this book on the back of Kathryn Wood's review, as I was taking the National Certificate in Numeracy Level 2 exam under similar circumstances to her. I used it for home-study over several weeks and today I passed the exam first time! I am thrilled!

I would highly recommend this book.

Average rating of 5/5 Excellent Text, 2006-01-15
This is an excellent resource for teachers of adult numeracy. Friendly than Llewlynn and Greer, which it has replaced as my main source text . Very useful is the ordering by curriculum reference. Recommended
