Integral resources offer full coverage of all the topics covered in the A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics curricula as well as both Cambridge and Edexcel International A level International specifications.
In the Introduction and Overview section, there is the glossary which provides the option to browse throughout the whole course. There is also an option to print section tests if needed.
You will also find in the modules, in addition to the different topics, a Revision section. Summary sheets, which provide key information for students are located within the AS and A Level sections, in the Pure, Mechanics and Statistics modules. These are a great resource for students to use during busy revision periods and allows them to manage their own revision
