Junior Cycle Ordinary Level Maths
We've listened to you!
Active Maths 1 (3rd edition) has been completely revised to cover all the essential content for the Ordinary Level course. This edition is more concise with a student-friendly layout, providing lots of exam support and guidance for CBAs. The printed Solutions Book and editable plans along with the practical digital resources such as PowerPoints, construction animations and Geogebra activities, will save you valuable time and help engage students.
Active Maths 1 lays the foundations for all JC students and then develops the skills needed for the Ordinary Level exam. Active Maths 2 focuses on the knowledge needed for the Higher Level exam (3rd edition coming in 2025).
Student-friendly pitch
This new edition uses plain, simple, student-friendly language. The shorter chapters are easier to cover and help students to grasp tricky concepts by splitting them into manageable chunks, building their confidence. The questions in every exercise are carefully graded and colour-coded so that you can identify difficulty levels at a glance, and set work that suits your class best.
