Combined English and Maths

Combined English and Maths is the brain child of a series of observations of students as they struggle with subjects, especially science in schools and colleges due to poor foundations in English and maths. Some learners may know the basics of a particular subject but have difficulty putting things on paper or on a screen and hence cut and paste from internet websites. The truth comes out when they are asked to write a report on an experiment they have carried out themselves; which may not be found anywhere on the internet. Poor language and mathematical skills create a barrier and inhibit the prog-ress of students in many subjects. Instructions for carrying out practical tasks have to be understood. This is impossible without improvement in language skills. Students have to engage in calculations in order to present and con-clude experimental results. This is also impossible without basic mathemati-cal skills. Adult learners especially foreign students express a great deal of distress and lose confidence in learning science especially biology due to poor nu-meracy and literacy skills, though they may have studied the subject to a high level in their home countries. Others have difficulty finding jobs or have no confidence in going to look for work due to poor language skills. This book is aimed at supporting a wide range of individuals with the basic skills in maths and English. It begins with the very basics in both subjects and progresses to somewhat challenging sections. It is written in an interesting manner to engage students and the general public at large.
