Enhance your geography teaching with the most up-to-date textbooks available

Geography is constantly evolving, and the materials we use in the classroom must evolve with it.

That’s why Pearson is publishing new second editions of its Pearson Edexcel GCSE Geography Student Books for Specification A and B, giving learners access to the most up-to-date support.

Completely relevant and current geography

It’s very important for students to feel the geography they’re learning in the classroom is relevant to them and the world around them.

The new Student Books reflect this by including the latest data and world events. Updated, contemporary case studies give a real-world context to learning. This helps support all learners to become confident and engaged geographers, and to achieve their potential as well as sparking interest in studying geography at a higher level.

Most up-to-date assessment support

Pearson Edexcel have made recent changes to their geography specification, and the books clearly reflect these, making them the most relevant resource available. Throughout the textbooks you can find updated practice exam-style questions, annotated sample answers, advice on command words and exam tips for each topic. This gives students everything they need to build their confidence for future assessment.

Even better, they’re written and reviewed by assessment experts, supporting you with clear, easy-to-follow advice you can trust.

Clearly organised, accessible content

What’s more, the team at Pearson have worked to update the layout of the books to make them even more accessible for learners. Content is presented clearly and visually, with exciting images to keep students interested.  

The thoughtful layout is designed to encourage students to really engage with each topic and to build knowledge and skills. The books offer complete coverage of the specifications, with each spread presenting a topic in an easy-to-follow style, with activities to test knowledge and understanding. Regular check-ins every few spreads give students the opportunity to review their knowledge and consolidate their learning. ‘Did you know?’ features throughout offer interesting ‘stretch’ facts to spark interest and debate in topics.  

Get your students to Think Geographically

To get students engaged with geography it’s important they learn to think like geographers. That’s why our approach is designed to build the skills learners need to easily get to grips with concepts and ideas.

Our ‘Thinking Geographically’ approach throughout gives extensive support for developing mathematics and literacy skills. As well as this, there are activities designed to help develop key geographical skills, including special activities to help master mathematical and statistical skills.

When it comes to fieldwork, we’ve modelled fieldwork investigations and activities to support enquiry skills for fieldwork studies, giving your students the confidence they need to tackle their fieldwork and this section of the exam.

Unlock potential with ActiveHub and Pearson Revise
