The Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics stage five book, for those students following an higher GCSE course, was split into the same three sections as the previous stages’ books. Each section was divided into chapters giving relevant information and presented activities to do and questions to answer.
Nuffield National Curriculum Mathematics stage four books were intended for those students working at level seven and followed an intermediate GCSE course.
As with previous stages, there are three books, each one covering an attainment target but also incorporating using and applying mathematics.
