Exploring Maths through History!
Designed specifically for Transition Year classes, this textbook will give students a fresh and exciting perspective on the development of maths and its place in the world.
Text & Tests for Transition Year is a new and engaging textbook that explores mathematics through history and key concepts. Built around eight modules, it acts as a bridge into Transition Year from the Junior Cycle course, revisiting and consolidating work previously completed (Looking Back ), while showing how these topics will develop later on (Looking Ahead ).
Each module begins with a timeline, mapping the development through history of this branch of mathematics.
The modules are divided into parts, each of which revises a specific topic. These are written in an accessible, easy-to-understand style.
Links between mathematical ideas are shown and concepts are connected to real-world use.
Worked examples with focused exercises (tagged as Check-up) are key elements of each module, with the level of difficulty of the questions in each Check-up graduated.
Talking points appear throughout the book to stimulate discussion, suggest other approaches or add clarity.
Each chapter concludes with a Test that covers all the mathematical topics covered in that module.
