 | Full Description:
This book is designed to help students develop the various skills required to pass Key Skills Application of Number Level I. Each section is divided by curriculum reference and includes an explanation on ‘how to do it’’, followed by exercises to consolidate learning. Key Skills Level 1 is tested using multiple choice answer sheets. However, the knowledge and skills required to answer these questions can only be developed through practice and application.
To gain a full pass at Level 1 a portfolio must be produced. All the explanations and exercises in this book support the building of the portfolio.
