Achieve your full potential with learning materials that guide you through the Statistics content of the new AS and A-level Further Maths specifications; developed by subject experts and in conjunction with MEI (Mathematics in Education and Industry).
- Ensure targeted development of reasoning and problem-solving skills with plenty of practice questions and structured exercises that build statistical skills and techniques.
- Identify connections between topics, with real-world contexts to help develop modelling skills, thus providing a fuller and more coherent understanding of statistical concepts.
- Address the new statistics requirements with questions around the use of large data sets.
- Cover the use of technology in mathematics with a variety of questions based around the use of spreadsheets, graphing software and graphical calculators.
- Overcome misconceptions and develop insight into problem solving with annotated worked examples.
