Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what text books your dc's work from for maths in year 7/8?
Much obliged.

I have no idea. I have a y8 (and y11 who has just finished exams). They don't have text books that come home. Homework is online "Mymaths". I have never asked if they use a text book at school, but I have the feeling everything's on the Interactive whiteboard or they have photocopies

I'm pretty sure its STP Mathematics - was in yr7 anyway, in Yr8 DD has learned to use her locker and not leave her books lying round the living room so not sure Grin

Formula 1 maths Hodder book is simply called A1 for Y7 B1 for Y8 C1 for Y9

With formula one, the A1, B1 and C1 books are the lowest level. You can also get A2, B2 and C2 and C3 books which are more challenging.

Also Essential Maths

Its A1 formula 1 maths gold which are the lower level ones. ds2 uses those ones in his special school. Dunno what a2 b2 are
ds1 was in his school's top set all the way through and used a1 b1 c2 and then edexcel gcse maths higher by Hodder and got a B
ds3 also in top set every year so far has used a1 b1 and now on a different book for the new maths framework which is called exploring maths by Longman. The back cover says tier 6 of 7. Real pain when the books change and I can''t pass them down as we have to buy them

We use B gold with our bottom Y8, B1 with set 3 and B2 with the top two sets (level 6/7). In Y9 the top sets (level 8 standard) use C3. But we are phasing them out to prepare for the new functional maths element of GCSE.

Essential Maths too.
