A Complete Guide to Mathematics Lower Secondary 1&2

This book will help students:

• review the facts of lower secondary Mathematics,
• master the methods, skills and techniques involved,
• hone their ability to think mathematically, and,
• master the shortest methods of working out problems.

Each topic begins with a brief explanation, followed by examples. Plenty of Self-Tests are provided along with a methodololgy to arrive at the solutions. Examination Papers are also included for mid-year and end-year review.

Answers to Self-Tests and Specimen Papers are included at the end of each section.
