Cambridge IGCSE Science Skills Workbooks
These two skills-focused workbooks provide targeted support for science students. The English Language Skills Workbook and Maths Skills Workbook help learners develop their skills in the context of the biology, chemistry and physics syllabuses.
English Language Skills Workbook
• Wide-ranging exercises and activities reinforce syllabus content whilst providing structured support to develop relevant language skills
• ‘Language Tips’, such as providing extra information to aid memory of key terms, or suggestions of synonyms or alternative ways of expressing ideas help learners to build linguistic confidence
Maths Skills Workbook
• Written in collaboration with the Association for Science Education (ASE), based on research carried out by the Nuffield Foundation and the ASE
• Maths skills are cross-linked to other resources in the series to help students understand how to use them
• Practice exercises gradually increase in complexity to support students in acquiring maths skills
Develop your students’ maths and English language skills in the context of the revised syllabuses.
