Discovering Mathematics: Graded Question Bank 2

This Graded Question Bank is a supplementary assessment resource for students in Year 8. It supports students with varied learning profiles to build and consolidate their maths knowledge and skills. It is designed for use alongside Student Books 2B and 2C, and Workbooks 2B and 2C, in the Discovering Mathematics series, with exercises split into the corresponding chapters. The series is adapted from the leading Singapore course to fully match the English Key
Stage 3 National Curriculum.
Exercises incorporate 'intelligent practice', with careful variation of numbers to reinforce and deepen learning. Questions are differentiated into three levels: Level 1 for basic fluency practice, Level 2 for greater challenge, and Level 3 for analytical thinking, testing the student's ability to apply their learning. Problem-solving questions are identified throughout, and questions related to science and finance are clearly flagged to encourage students to connect mathematical ideas across
other subjects.
Short answers are included in the back, with fully-worked solutions available to teachers on the accompanying Kerboodle digital resource. These are a valuable tool for supporting students with presenting their solutions, with the precise use of mathematical language and clear reasoning.
