Second Edition for the new Australian Curriculum 9.0.
Essential Mathematics CORE for the Australian Curriculum Second Edition supports students who need additional help to master the minimum requirements of the Achievement Standards and acquire maths tools for life and the workplace.
What’s new in this edition:
- Introducing our diagnostic assessment tool: developed in consultation with classroom teachers, this powerful new tool offers the flexibility to build your tests from one or more textbook lesson or the curriculum content descriptor, with the option to drill down to mathematical skill level. Identify and address gaps in student knowledge with intuitive reports and follow-up work that provide teachers with valuable insights into student performance and growth.
- Engaging new technology and computational thinking activities in every chapter meet the requirements of the Australian Curriculum v9.0 and give students the practical skills needed to use technology they will encounter in the workplace and in life, such as spreadsheets and calculators.
- Algorithmic thinking is introduced at every year level in an accessible, highly teachable activity-based chapter.
- New projectable and editable lesson summaries, designed for classroom presentation, help focus students’ attention and initiate classroom discussion.
- New targeted skillsheets focus on a single skill or set of related skills and are supported by worked examples. Available for download in the Interactive Textbook, they can be assigned as homework or used as classwork.
- New Investigations, co-created with ATSIMA (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance), support the authentic teaching and learning of the elaborations related to First Nations people’s perspectives in the Australian Curriculum.
