Separate exercise books for maths and maths extension? (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if most people have two different exercise books for these subjects? I was thinking of putting both in the same book, but then considering that I also do my theory notes in the same book I figured that the book would fill up pretty quickly hahaha

Also, in your opinion is it better to have a separate theory book as well? Thoughts anyone?

I had a separate exercise book for maths and maths extension, it is much easier when you are revising for maths or maths extension exam, particularly if your school doesn't do combined exam where within one exam they test the 2 unit and 3 unit stuff as well, I would recommend you have a separate book to summarise all the main formulas in, but I think you don't need a separate theory book, you will find it easier to revise if you put your theory, then your answers to exercises relevant to that theory after you summarised the relevant mathematical theory.

I had one book for both, because there was no set extension 1 or adv periods at my school because they lumped it together, so I didn't know if I was going to learn an ext topic or not.

You can try using loose leaf so you can move topics around if that makes you feel more comfortable, otherwise one theory book for both is sufficient.

Also I had a separate theory and practice book. I would do my exercises in a separate book to my theory.

Hope that helps

they are two different courses so you should use two different books, but it is up to you what suits you better.

Maths extension just takes adv topics further. It isn't necessarily a completely different course, it just goes in depth for more topics like trig. It also introduces new topics that are based on adv topics.

Friends of mine that did 3U maths used two different exercise books as they are two different courses.

thanks for opinions guys my school has them as two separate classes but with the same teacher, but i think i might go separate books considering what the majority has said
