Teaching A-Level well can be a challenge for experienced teachers. Even more so for teachers new to A-Level. Especially so with the current proof-led curriculum.
You need quick answers - provided in the textbooks - and fully worked solutions for deeper understanding.
A new syllabus, without a history of questions to drill students on, is an opportunity for a fresh approach. We start with the assumption that mathematics at A Level should deliver good students for higher level studies – in mathematics and science. These answers provide part of that approach.
Developed by teachers for teachers – there are applets that demonstrate points for use in the classroom or for student use at home.

The Editors
A team of practical, technology-savvy teachers – who are able mathematicians – has been put together to deliver the new suite of Tarquin A-Level products. The team is led by:
Dr Tom Bennison: following completion of a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Tom Bennison is pursuing a career in teaching and is now the Level 3 Lead for the East Midlands West MathsHub. With experience of teaching undergraduates, postgraduates and school students he is keen to support other teachers deliver A-Level Mathematics. He views the introduction of the new syllabus as an opportunity to expose students to mathematics; not just past exam questions. He is a proponent of technology in the classroom and advocates the use of interactive activities alongside the more traditional exercises to develop understanding and intuition amongst students.
Dr Edward Hall is currently a mathematics lecturer at the University of Nottingham. He has four years of lecturing experience, teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics and engineering students. As somebody who has worked both within mathematics and engineering departments and closely with industrial collaborators, he is well placed to understand what Universities are looking for from those applying to study STEM subjects. He hopes this textbook will enable students to approach the new unified A-Level syllabus with confidence and inspire them to further their mathematical studies at university.
