Attempting to put maths in situations which will interest the pupil, this book contains exercises and examples which are drawn from real-life problems which are familiar to students in the Caribbean. The early chapters review the basic operations of number. Electonic calculators are now easily available, and their use is not discouraged, but emphasis is placed on the need to be able to estimate results and decide on the reasonableness of an answer. Sections have been included on business, wages, personal loans, graphs, shapes and scale drawing, which are intended to appeal to technical and vocational students.
