Signpost... but who cares? It's junior maths. Not hard to do well, and even if you don't do well, you can still make up for it in years 11 and 12 (like me, to a large extent).
Maths works not crap?! sorry my apologies. I have to use 3 textbooks (lol) when i was in year 9 and 10. That is spectrum, signpost and mathsworks but i found mathsworks wasn't good.
Oh well, i was trying to help my cousin out. He is so keen and determined in maths lol.
okay ive used both maths signpost and new century
New century is really confusing unless you know exactely what's happening, the questions are harder and more in depth then those in signpost
Signpost is way more fun and it's way more creative
I think overall it depends on how your school devides up the course signpost does surds in year 9 while newcen does it in year 10.
In my school we used two textbooks. One was Spectrum which was for homework and the other was Signpost which was for SOME classwork. Otherwise the teacher writes questions on the board as classwork.
New Century seriously stuffed up my maths in yr 10. Though our school was giving us Yr11 2U stuff, I was getting like 40% and 30% completely the test were way above our level.
But i'm doing alrite in 3U now, coming like 6th in the grade.
yes
for year 9/10 a great text book which is easy to understand and very helpful is 'Understanding maths year 9/10' by warwick marlin. It has an orange cover and is simplyt marvelous
