This volume, an operational declination of the Tablet of maths rules, supports students in the second year of lower secondary school, with resolving mathematics exercises, proposing some strategies and tools for schematization and facilitations which are useful for learning:
How the notebook is structured
In each unit, a comic introduces the topic and a brief summary reviews the fundamental concepts, which, if necessary, can be explored in the corresponding chapter of the Tablet of maths rules.
The proposed exercises are initially guided step by step, to help reflect on the mathematical concepts involved in them and on the relationships between the various steps used. Proceeding within the unit, the guided steps decrease to leave the student more autonomy in finding the solution.
In each unit, problems applied to concrete situations find ample space, so that students can realize the importance of mathematics in the interpretation of reality.

The tablet notebooks follow the publication of The tablet of Math rules and are dedicated to lower secondary school students! Each workbook provides exercises and problems on all the topics studied during the first, second and third years at school, in order to consolidate and explore them thoroughly. Together with the Tablet of Math rules, these volumes are an immediate and easily accessible tool to support learning.
Exercises on each topic are preceded by a short and clear explanation, with examples and strategies for calculation and problem solving. Students will be accompanied through the activities, with the help of useful advice and some tips.
Tools for learning
Each volume in the series provides some schematic and facilitation tools:
My Mathematical Exercises First Year
ARITHMETICS: the set N and decimal numbers (ordering and comparing whole numbers and decimal numbers, the four operations and their properties, properties of powers, expressions, breaking down numbers into prime factors, GCD and lcm); the set Q+ (ordering and comparing fractions, operations with fractions, powers of fractions, expressions).
GEOMETRY: the primitive geometric entities (lines, rays, segments and angles); the units of length; polygons and calculation of the perimeter; geometric transformations (translations, rotations, symmetries).

My Mathematical Exercises Second Year
ARITHMETICS: the set Q+ (transformation of fractions into decimal numbers and vice versa, rounding of a decimal number); the set I (root extraction of a number, irrational numbers); proportions (proportions and their properties, problems with proportions, direct and inverse proportions, simple three and compound three problems); percentages (percentages and problems with percentages).
GEOMETRY: the units of surface area; polygons and calculation of area (regular and irregular geometric figures); Pythagoras' Theorem; Euclid's Theorems; similar polygons; homotypes; the circle and inscribed and circumscribed polygons.

My Mathematical Exercises Third Year
Arithmetic and algebra: set Z and set Q (properties and operations with relative integers, set Q and scientific notation); monomials and polynomials (operations and expressions with monomials and polynomials); first degree equations (equations, equivalence principles and problems).
Statistics and probability: statistical populations; absolute, relative and percentage frequency; position indices; data representation; compatible, incompatible and complementary probabilities and events; intersection and union of two events; probability of independent and dependent events.
Geometry: planar geometry (circumference and circle, Cartesian plane); solid geometry (prism, rectangular pyramid, cube, pyramid, cylinder, cone and sphere).
