This well-established series, the most popular in Nigeria, has been fully revised to reflect recent developments in mathematics education at junior secondary level and the views of the many users of the books. It has expecially been revised to fully cover the requirements of the new NERDC Universal Basic Education Curriculum.

In preparing this course, the authors consulted widely with mathematics teachers in Nigeria, at a series of intensive workshops held in schools throughout the country. As a result this new edition provides an excellent basis for students working towards the examination to be taken at the end of Basic Education. It also lays a solid foundation for success in the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination in General Mathematics.

The new edition provides:

• a new clearer layout, making the text more approachable and engaging
• content to raise awarness of the global issues identified in the UBE syllabus
• clear and accessible language for ease of understanding
• carefully graded questions in three levels of difficulty to cater for mixed ability classes
• suggestions of teaching and learning materials at the start of each chapter to help teachers
• preliminary chapters which outline the topics that should be covered before starting each book
• more use of fully-worked examples, thereby giving students a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts
• revision exercises, which provide greater opportunities for students of differing abilities to reach their full potential
• chapter summaries which aid students' recall and revision of the most salient points learnt
• complete answers which have been checked for accuracy
• a curriculum-matching chart which indicates at a glance where the curriculum topics are covered in the text
