Skills focused series for examination from 2023; inspired by teachers, for teachers. The maths skills workbook with digital access helps learners to develop their maths skills in the context of the Cambridge IGCSE™ Physics syllabus, based on research carried out by the Nuffield Foundation and the Association for Science Education. Practice exercises, which increase in complexity, provide opportunities for learners to practise each maths skill. Worked examples help learners develop their thinking processes and include further help with 'Key questions to ask yourself'. The 'Look out' feature makes students aware of common misconceptions. Practice and exam-style questions help students improve their fluency and confidence in answering questions. The answers can be found online at www.cambridge.org/go

Originally published in 1983, this book not only dissects the intrinsic and oppressive sexism of conventional adult and continuing education, but also argues the case for women-centred education with a powerful and compelling logic. A challenging and controversial book of the time, mixing provocative theories with details of practice in a wide-ranging and readable debate, it addresses the process through which women’s rights to educational equality can be guaranteed."Arguably the first feminist analysis of adult education" Daniel Schugurensky

This edition of our successful series to support the Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus (0625) is fully updated for the revised syllabus for first examination from 2016. Mathematics is an integral part of scientific study, and one that students often find a barrier to progression in science. Students can find it difficult to apply maths knowledge to science scenarios, even if they have encountered the maths concept previously. The Maths Skills for Cambridge IGCSE Physics write-in workbook allows students to practise their maths skills in science contexts. This resource has been written in collaboration with the Association for Science Education (ASE), based on research carried out with the Nuffield Foundation. The accompanying teacher's guide provides support for teachers to teach mathematical concepts in science lessons.

Hide and Seek is a three-level pre-primary course that has English language, literacy, numeracy and basic science at its core. Letters, phonics and numbers are introduced through the Pupil's Book illustrations as pupils have fun finding letters and numbers hidden on each page. This fun and colourful activity-based approach ensures the whole child is learning and developing along with the language. o Strong Development of early Literacy and Numeracy - The syllabus follows the United Kingdom Statutory Framework for Early Years Development Standards (EYFS). o Phonics are presented and practised in each lesson through the audio material, topic vocabulary and phonic activities. o Chants and songs in each lesson provide a fun way to absorb the language through a Total Physical Response approach. o The Art and Craft lessons allow students to explore and work with a range of media and materials, providing opportunities to develop motor skills and to share their ideas, thoughts and feelings. o An online Parent's Booklet explains the course rational and objectives, parent and child activities so that learning can continue at home and parents can be fully involved with their child's learning.

Making use of theory, reflection, narrativity and auto/biographical writing, Jane Thompson provides a comprehensive understanding of what learning really means, and what education can contribute to the struggles of working class women intent on changing the circumstances of their lives. Organized into three parts, in the first section, Thompson draws on autobiographical experience to root theoretical understanding in the authority of personal knowledge. In part two, she illustrates how theoretical analysis can inform arguments about women's changing relationships to class, community, consciousness and education. In the final part, she provides detailed examples of educational work she has been involved in with working class women.Containing vivid autobiographical narratives from women in England and Northern Ireland, Women, Class and Education explores compelling personal narratives that underline the importance of feminism as a source of political inspiration, social analysis and change.
