Books in Essential Mathematics series

The series: New in 2006! The complete resource package for every student thoroughly rewritten to reflect the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. The Year 9 student pack includes • the full colour student text • the student CD-ROM (with an electronic version of the book and interactive tests) • the Homework book (which provides at least one homework activity per week) Series features: • Carefully rewritten to incorporate the new VELS content throughout, providing students with the highest quality maths texts available. • VELS projects have been extensively trialled in schools to ensure they work well in the classroom environment. • Suitable for both standard and enrichment courses in Years 7 to 10 (In 2007 we are releasing a Gold edition at Year 10 for students struggling with mainstream maths). • Includes correlation grids clearly matching our texts to the Progression Points and VELS on the Teacher CD-ROMs to assist teachers with reporting.

This book has arisen from the need for students to practise extended mathematics questions that cover more than one topic. For convenience the sets have been grouped by their major content focus into Problems in Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry & Measurement, Trigonometry and Probability.The book also contains hints for students needing assistance and answers to all questions. A Separate Full Solutions Manual is also available on disc or in hard copy. Some questions refer to a graphics calculator and, whilst the directions are written for the TI 81/82/83 the questions are easily adapted to other graphics calculators. This is an ideal companion book for students in years 9 & 10 and for some topics in year 11.

The Year 7 homework book is provided free with the student text and CD-ROM in the student pack. It can also be purchased separately. It includes enough work to provide at least one homework activity per week. The series: New in 2006!

Essential Mathematics for VELS 7 has been written specifically for the Victorian Essential Learning Standards Mathematics course, that is, all the dimensions within the mathematics discipline have been addressed. Furthermore, the authors have actively sought to highlight links both within and outside of Mathematics as prescribed in VELS. Thus, Essential Mathematics for VELS is a complete course of study which reflects the needs of teachers of mathematics in Victoria and builds on long standing successful classroom teaching practices. The material has been extensively trialled in schools. Together with the exciting full colour and creative design makes this series a new step in the creation of maths resources for Victorian schools.

Essential Mathematics for the Australian Curriculum is an all-new comprehensive teaching and learning program developed especially for Years 7 to 10A of the Australian Curriculum.
