Our new A Level textbook is written in the straightforward,
easy-to-grasp style for which Pat Heathcote and Rob Heathcote are
well-known. Each chapter in the book corresponds to roughly one lesson,
and contains questions and exercises which can be done in class, as well
as questions at the end of each chapter which can be set as homework.
Answers to all questions are provided in downloadable pdf format
available free to teachers from the PG Online website. This book is
divided into twelve sections comprising 72 chapters, which together
provide complete coverage of the new AS and A Level course. Two short
appendices contain A Level content that could be taught in the first
year of the course as an extension to related AS topics. The
specification is written in such a way that AS and A Level students can
be taught together. Programming solutions within the textbook are all
written in pseudocode to suit all practical languages being taught
alongside the theory. To accompany this textbook, PG Online also
publishes a series of six downloadable teaching units. Each topic in a
unit consists of a PowerPoint presentation, teacher's notes, worksheets,
homework sheets and a final assessment test with exam-style questions.
Pat Heathcote and Rob Heathcote both have years of experience as
teachers, authors and examiners.
