Discovering Mathematics: Workbook 1B

This workbook is tailored for Year 7 Middle tier students, supporting Student Book 1B. It features differentiated exercises, problem-solving questions, and a self-assessment checklist to enhance learning and track progress.

Discovering Mathematics: Workbook 1B is designed specifically for Year 7 students at the middle tier, serving as a complement to the Student Book 1B in the Discovering Mathematics series. This workbook has been adapted from the highly regarded Singapore mathematics curriculum and has undergone thorough review by experienced educators from both the UK and Singapore. Its content aligns closely with the English Key Stage 3 National Curriculum, ensuring that students receive a robust mathematical foundation.

The workbook is structured to mirror the chapters found in the corresponding student book, with exercises thoughtfully divided into sections. Each exercise adheres to the principles of authentic mastery, allowing students to engage in 'intelligent practice.' The questions are varied to reinforce learning, and they are differentiated into three levels: Level 1 focuses on basic fluency, Level 2 offers more challenging problems, and Level 3 encourages analytical thinking. Additionally, integrated questions assess students' abilities to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts, while problem-solving questions are clearly marked to enhance critical thinking skills.

To support student progress, the workbook includes a self-assessment checklist at the beginning, enabling learners to track their development. Accompanying online resources provide short answers for quick feedback, helping students identify and rectify any misconceptions. For teachers, fully-worked solutions with GCSE grades are accessible through the Kerboodle digital resource, facilitating comprehensive support for students as they navigate their mathematical journey. Overall, Discovering Mathematics: Workbook 1B is a valuable tool for fostering a deep understanding of mathematics in a structured and engaging manner.
