This series is an excellent preparation for the linear and modular mathematics GCSE specifications offered by AQA, Edexcel and OCR. The books for the Foundation tier have been especially praised for helping raise the confidence of students, who as a result have a better understanding of the mathematics and a clearer self awareness of what they've learned. Foundation 1 is the first of two main books for the Foundation tier. It is also designed to follow on from Foundation Transition, a preparatory key stage 4 text for those who have followed a 'support' course in key stage 3.
