Help students go beyond recalling information and teach them to apply concepts. By starting to practise the strategy of 'Detect, Recall and Solve' from year 7, they will become expert at solving problems by GCSE. This book contains hundreds of questions and covers all the concepts in year 7 of the 5-year plan (Blueprint).

A powerful strategy for Apply questions. The book teaches students, particular middle and low achievers, a powerful and repeatable exam technique: how to approach apply questions set in unfamiliar situations, by analysing the question, recognising the critical knowledge, and putting together a logical answer.

Masses of challenging practice to deepen understanding. The wealth of 'your turn' questions helps students go beyond recalling of knowledge, and practise using it in a variety of applications.

Builds confidence to tackle exam questions. Many students give up when faced with a difficult exam question. The book shows students they can do it. It breaks down the process, gives lots of scaffolding and gradually builds their skills towards independence.

      Chapter 10: Watch out 

      • Misconceptions questions on each chapter

      The first page of each problem is a clear and visually explained worked example. It shows students a 3-step process for successfully solving unfamiliar questions:

      • Detect: work out what you need to do to answer the question
      • Recall: bring to mind all the relevant knowledge
      • Solve: go step-by-step from what you know to the solution

      The second page is a set of 'your turn' questions to try. The first is similar to the example to check that students can follow the thinking. Further questions are carefully crafted as stepping stones to build their competence and confidence. There are hints to get students unstuck, and answers at the back.

      At the end of a chapter, students are ready for the 'mixed up problem' challenge. Like in an examination, several types of problems are mixed together, but now students have learned the skills of recognising which knowledge to use in each situation.
