By Hamza F. Napunda This book, ESSENTIAL PRIMARY MATHEMATICS, is a result of continued requests from various stakeholders on the need for the book that also includes some worked examples to complement the commendable work done in our flagship book, Mastering Primary Mathematics.

Therefore, this book is by no means a replacement for it but rather it’s meant to complement that work, especially for those who are in need of seeing the worked examples as well. Much of the emphasis in this book has been placed on Word problems and Geometry, the two essential areas that mathematics learners have difficulties mastering. As you can now expert from our Mastering series books, the examples have been shown clearly so as to enable the learner to grasp the concept easily and immediately. Some more exercises which have been strategically selected are also included at the end of each chapter.
