About the Book
SMP Interact for GCSE Mathematics has been written specifically for the new linear and modular GCSE specifications. It has been extensively trialled and successfully used in schools, proving to be highly motivating for students. SMP Interact for GCSE Mathematics is a self-contained course which can be used by schools whether or not they have used SMP Interact at Key Stage 3. It is available at Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tiers. Coverage of a whole tier in one book provides a flexible course to fit with schemes of work and gives the opportunity for revision of previous topics. The teacher's guides contain suggestions for whole class discussion, ideas for teaching approaches and guidance on topics that cause students difficulty. They include brief accounts of teachers' own experiences and contain answers to the students' and practice books.
