‘Fast Track 1’ is a write-on student workbook, produced by Sigma Publications, that prepares able maths students for high level passes in their Year 9 course. This book is best bought at the start of the school year and used throughout the year as a homework resource by students who are working towards 'merit or 'excellence' passes. Alternatively, the book may be bought towards the end of the year and used as an independent study programme leading up to final Year 9 exams.

‘Fast Track 1’ revises Level 4 and starts Level 5 work from the New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum. The Number chapters provide detailed work from Stage 7 (Advanced Multiplicative) and Stage 8 (Proportional) of the Secondary Numeracy Project, while the large Statistics chapter explores the Statistical Enquiry Cycle. Instruction boxes and worked examples appear on almost every page and help students with independent study. At the end of each chapter there is a valuable revision test and a full set of answers is included.

148 pages (includes a full set of removable answers) ISBN: 978-1-877567-70-4
