How is the book used?
There are full instructions and example pages in each book. Perform with Time requires that each question is answered correctly on three consecutive occasions on different days. When a question is answered correctly a tick should be placed on the line, a question answered incorrectly is marked with a dot. On each page of the book there is space for working out solutions, but students should be encouraged to carry out the calculations in this book without using pen and paper. It is not intended that certain pages should be used in isolation. Plus has been found to work best when it is used 4 or 5 times a week, with each session lasting for about 10 to 15 minutes.
