"You know something? I simply love your materials and I think you have done a wonderful job!"

Timothy Ang Tok Woon.

 
  Core 1 chapters.
  The following self contained materials give near complete coverage to the EDEXCEL Mathematics Core 1 module. Topics are broken down into the smallest viable units of work to allow teachers / students to mix and match etc.
Each chapter contains notes, examples and full exercises (with answers). End of unit tests also accompany each chapter (at no extra cost!) which contain full solutions.

There are two versions of each chapter; one with full solutions to all examples and one with all solutions removed. The latter are intended for direct use within the classroom (I myself find these a very productive means of teaching).

Please contact me if you'd like me to customise/combine chapters in any way to reflect individual preferences etc. I can do these very quickly.
