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 – one for each lesson in each book – focus on a single skill or small set of related skills and are supported by worked examples.
• Editable PowerPoint lesson summaries, ideal for classroom presentation, help focus student attention and promote class discussion.
• Introducing our diagnostic assessment tool: developed in consultation with classroom teachers, this powerful tool offers the flexibility to build your tests using either the structure of the textbook or the curriculum, and choose to drill down to the level of individual mathematical skills. Identify and address gaps in student knowledge with intuitive reporting and follow-up work suggestions.

A proven teaching and learning formula:

• Developed by the most experienced 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 all question types. Topics within chapters are clearly labelled as revision, core or extension to assist with course planning and streaming.
• Integrated digital resources and a powerful Learning Management System enhance the teaching and learning experience.
