Peter Robson Maths for Practice and Revision Book 3 concentrates on algebra. It helps pupils move from arithmetic, where values are known, to using letters, expressions and equations to represent and solve problems.
What does Peter Robson Book 3 cover?
- Algebraic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- Brackets and factorisation
- Fractions involving letters
- Perimeter, area and volume using letters
- Substitution
- Simple equations and inequalities
- Formulae
The left-hand pages demonstrate methods with worked examples, while the corresponding right-hand pages provide questions to try. This makes the book useful for pupils who need more than a brief introduction but are not yet ready to rely mainly on exam papers.
Who is this book for?
Book 3 can support able upper-primary pupils preparing for demanding entrance tests, Key Stage 3 students building fluency and GCSE pupils who need to strengthen their algebra foundations. Pupils should already be secure with the earlier number skills needed to manipulate expressions accurately.
Why we recommend it
- A clear bridge from arithmetic to formal algebra
- Worked examples before independent questions
- Enough practice to develop accuracy and confidence
- Useful across entrance-exam, KS3 and GCSE preparation
