Support for the transition to the new Study Design

Exam Generator - Easily create custom practice exams using questions from past VCAA exams

  • We have added to our highly experienced author team in these new editions with additional qualified educators with the ability to interpret and convey the new Study Design with the most logical topic development and rigorous questions to ensure all the requirements are met.   
  • Supporting documents for teachers include new investigations, additional exercises, more chapter tests and answers, skillsheets, solutions for the assignments, curriculum information and more. 
  • Supporting material is provided for the prescribed ‘Networks’ content in the General course to guide teachers who are unfamiliar with the topic.
  • Appendices in the Methods and Specialist courses provide support for teachers unfamiliar with algorithms and pseudocode, along with support for using various technology to code algorithms.
  • This powerful new feature allows teachers to create custom practice exams using previous VCAA questions plus additional VCAA-style questions with mark allocation and solutions. Teachers can search the question bank by key words and filter question selection by topic, degree of difficulty and question type. Exams can be printed and taken under exam conditions or used for revision, and multiple-choice questions can be completed online and auto-marked.

Clear structure and development for the General Mathematics course

  • A revised structure follows on from the success of the Essential Mathematics 7-10&10A format to provide more support for less-confident students as well as additional challenges for stronger students. Each lesson will also include Now Try This questions after worked examples to give students practice prior to the exercises.
  • Where appropriate, chapters in both General Mathematics books have been completely revised to ensure consistency across all four units. 
  • Carefully graded exercise questions in the Units 1&2 book are clearly labelled as Building Understanding, Developing Understanding and Testing Understanding, supporting all students to achieve their best and providing challenge for capable students.  
  • The Task Manager tool allows teachers to set task sequences that can send users on a path appropriate to their results in a measurable task.
  • Explicitly labelled exam style questions are included in all of the exercises for the General course.

  • Powerful, integrated digital resources and LMS are now improved and include many new features to benefit students and teachers.
