Y9 Optymistic Guide
|
by Barbara Young Y9 Pow and Y9 Optymistic are stand-alone courses. They build upon the firm foundations laid down by our Y7 to Y8 texts but can be also used following on from any Y7 and Y8 Material. These texts were developed by Barbara Young in the classroom over several years, with the enthusiatic help of her students, and then trialled in a wide variety of schools. All students, even those in lower sets, are extremely well motivated working with this material. |
