Trusted coverage of the Australian Curriculum v9.0, now with powerful diagnostic tools to identify and address gaps in student knowledge. What’s New: • New content is introduced in the logical and sequential way you expect from Essential Mathematics to encourage deep understanding and support teachers’ delivery of the new curriculum. • A technology and computational thinking activity per chapter addresses the curriculum’s focus on algorithms, computational thinking, and the use of technology, and encourages students to use digital tools to solve a range of mathematical problems. • Targeted skillsheets focus on a single skill or set of related skills and are supported by worked examples. • Editable lesson summaries, ideal for classroom presentation, help focus student attention and promote class discussion. • Introducing our diagnostic tool: developed in consultation with classroom teachers, this powerful tool offers the flexibility to build your tests from one or more textbook lesson or curriculum content descriptor, and choose to drill down to mathematical skill level. Identify and address gaps in student knowledge with intuitive reporting and next-steps work. Our proven teaching and learning formula: • Developed by the most experience and authoritative team of authors writing for the Australian Curriculum, this new edition continues to combine logical and sequential topic development with well-graded exercises and linked examples to encourage deep understanding of concepts. • Carefully designed, differentiated learning pathways (Foundation, Standard and Advanced) ensure all students have some experience across understanding fluency, problem solving and reasoning questions, while content designated as “optional” in the curriculum fully prepares students heading into senior mathematics courses. • Integrated digital resources and a powerful Learning Management System enhance the teaching and learning experience.
