• Carry case and pen
• Four workbooks covering the “written” parts of the test
• Two CDs -
Workbook 1: Basic number skills
Basically a refresher of the main arithmetical topics needed for the QTS numeracy test. They are the main building blocks for sound mathematical knowledge. Included is a checklist skills checklist to make your progression quicker.

Workbook 2: Using and Applying General Arithmetic
This workbook discusses the arithmetical aspects tested in QTS
• Applications of fractions, decimals and percentages
• Averages including mean, median and mode
• Conversion of units such as money and distance
• Formulae
• Weighting as applied to examination results
• Proportion and ratio
• Time – both 24 and 12 hour clock

Workbook 4: Mental Arithmetic
This is probably the most important of all the four workbooks because it is a skill that is probably new to most students. All the other topics are covered at GCSE level whereas mental arithmetic is not. This workbook starts off by showing you:
• How to analyse questions
• The various types of questions
• How to speed up your calculations
The final part looks at audio questions which you work in conjunction with the mental arithmetic CD supplied with the course.

Workbook 3: Interpreting Statistical Information
This is a very important workbook. It looks at statistical information and how to analyse the data. There are two types of analysis – working with numbers using arithmetical methods; visual interpretation of diagrams such as graphs and charts and how to make complex information easier to understand.
• The main topics are:
• Bar charts including multiple and composite bar charts
• Box and whisker plots
• Average values (interpretation)
• Cumulative frequency charts
• Pie Charts
• Tables
• Timetables

Mock Test and Mental Arithmetic CD-ROMs
A mock test is supplied on a CD. This consists of a mental arithmetic (audio) section and an on-screen section similar to the actual QTS numeracy test. A separate CD has audio questions for use with the mental arithmetic part of the course, outlined in workbook 4
