This Student Book is suitable for any student studying: Exam Board: AQA
Level and subject: AS/A Level Maths First teaching: 2017

Approved by AQA, this Student Book provides full support for AS Level Maths and Year 1 of the full A Level (2017 specification). Bridging units at the start of each chapter provide the perfect springboard to support students in their transition from GCSE. Concise recap sections and abundant fluency-style questions ensure the whole class can be brought to the same level of readiness for A Level.

The main chapters cover the full AS specification across pure, mechanics and statistics. Clear and concise explanations are supported by extensive worked examples showing key techniques and common pitfalls. For each topic, students can check their understanding with a fluency-style exercise before advancing to a dedicated problem-solving exercise. This book supports the major changes in assessment style for the 2017 specification, with an assessment at the end of each chapter written in the new exam style, and with revision exercises that test synoptically across the syllabus.

The statistics content has been fully updated to support AQA’s new 2018 Large data set (car data). Short answers are in the back of the book, while full step-by-step solutions are provided free online. MyMaths links appear at the bottom of all exercises, providing a quick route to further practice and support. Additional support is available online via Oxford’s widely acclaimed Kerboodle platform.
