Overview
Walker Maths Numeracy Essentials is a write-on workbook which will complement Walker Maths Numeracy Practice.
It is designed to enable students to develop confidence in each of the seven content ideas before being faced with mixed context and processes. It has comprehensive sections on Number, Mathematical relationships, Spatial properties, Location and navigation, Measurement, Statistics and data, and Elements of chance. Following these, the three process ideas are explained along with hints and practice questions. There are then five sets of ten practice questions which are similar in style and scope to those likely to be encountered in the assessment.
This book will be invaluable for learners who need support on their journey towards achieving the NCEA Numeracy standard.
