Peter Robson Maths for Practice and Revision Book 2 develops the next group of essential number, measure and geometry skills after Book 1. It combines worked methods with a substantial amount of practice so pupils can apply each idea accurately and independently.
What does Peter Robson Book 2 cover?
- Factors, including prime factors, HCF and LCM
- Squares, square roots and cubes
- Ratio and proportion
- Linear measurement
- Approximation and rounding
- Standard form
- Perimeter, area and volume
These topics appear across upper-primary mathematics, 11+ preparation and Key Stage 3. The book is particularly useful for pupils who know basic calculations but need more confidence applying them to measures, shapes and multi-step problems.
Who is this book for?
Book 2 is a sensible progression for pupils who are already confident with the core content in Book 1. We commonly use it with Year 4 and Year 5 pupils preparing for entrance exams and with Key Stage 3 students consolidating earlier learning.
Why we recommend it
- Each topic is broken into manageable stages
- Worked examples support pupils before independent practice
- Questions help reveal whether a pupil truly understands the method
- The mix of number and geometry builds broader problem-solving confidence
