The focus on readers learning how and why a method works and the positive 'can do' attitude that permeates the whole text make the book an absolute boon to anyone who feels that maths is not for them. This is the first GCSE maths study guide (covering number, proportion and algebra) that uses engaging multisensory methods of learning for students with specific learning differences.

It is the driving force behind successful strategies and interventions for many neurodiverse children.Heather Davis, Independent Mathematics Education Consultant --This text refers to the paperback edition.
