• Quantitative and Logical Reasoning for Primary Schools Book 3

    Age Range: 6 to 12 years

    Quantitative and Logical Reasoning for Primary Schools is a six-book activity series written for pupils in the lower and upper primary schools.

    The books have been carefully put together to enhance the logical and quantitative reasoning skills of pupils through elementary mathematical facts and concepts of measurement, number series, variables, shapes, algebra and so on.

    This is to help pupils develop their reasoning capabilities, problem-solving techniques, speed, as well as improve their mental understanding and ability to establish logical and analytical, relationships in arriving at the right solutions.

    Presented and rendered in accordance with the Mathematics curriculum as directed by Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), the books will help pupils acquire basic techniques required in solving questions on quantitative reasoning with ease, thereby enabling better performance in the common entrance examination and other competitive examinations.

    This book in the series comprises carefully selected preparatory examination questions. This is to further enhance pupils’ level of preparedness for the examination.

  • Verbal and Logical Reasoning for Primary Schools Book 6

    Age Range: 6 to 12 years

    Verbal and Logical Reasoning for Primary Schools is a six-book activity series written for pupils in the lower and upper primary schools in order to broaden their mastery of verbal and logical reasoning.

    The books have been carefully put together to enhance the verbal and logical reasoning skills of pupils through elementary English facts and concepts of the alphabet, parts of speech, spellings, tenses, synonyms, antonyms, homophones and homographs, jumbled words, anagrams and so on.

    In addition to these, some logical test activities such as Venn diagram, puzzles, ranking and series, patterns, coding and decoding, analogies and sudoku are included in the text.

    This is to help pupils improve on how to reason logically, improve on speed and mental ability, establish logical and analytical relationships and also build their level of confidence.

    The series will afford pupils the ability to understand and comprehend written passages, acquire basic techniques required in solving questions on verbal reasoning with ease, thereby enhancing a better performance in common entrance examination and other competitive examinations.

    This book in the series comprises carefully selected preparatory examination questions. This is to further enhance pupils’ level of preparedness for various examinations.

  • Introduction to Abstract Algebra with Notes to the Future Teacher

    For courses in Abstract Algebra.

    Designed for future mathematics teachers as well as mathematics students who are not planning careers in secondary education, this text offers a traditional course in abstract algebra along with optional notes that connect its mathematical content to school mathematics. Elementary number theory and rings of polynomials are treated before group theory.  Prerequisites include some experience with proof.  (A brief appendix reviews certain basics of logic, proof, set theory, and functions.) Students should also have access to a Computer Algebra System (CAS), or a calculator with CAS capabilities

    Features

    • To the Teacher sections:

    –       Draw connections from the number theory or abstract algebra under consideration to secondary mathematics

    –       Help students make appropriate connections between the advanced mathematics they are learning and the secondary mathematics they may be teaching,

    • In the Classroom sections addressing classroom concerns in each chapter – Optional for the non-teacher.

    • From the Past sections in each chapter – Provide historical context; students experience historical thinking and technique.

    • Worksheets that outlines the framework of a topic in most chapters:

    –       Asks students to provide the details and exposition.

    –       Worksheets are suitable for group work and for development as student presentations in a capstone experience.

    • Examples in the text drawn from linear algebra – Can be omitted for students without that background.
