New projectable lesson summaries for each section

• Create your own family of tests for a designated unit of work from our large bank of questions.
  
  
• Choose your questions from a Textbook view or Curriculum view. Cover one or more textbook lessons or content descriptors, and drill down to specific Mathematical Skills to see the course at a granular level.
  
  
• Use the intuitive reports to identify gaps in knowledge.
  
  
• Set the suggested follow-up work to help students improve their performance.
  
  
• Let the system generate a post-test that matches the skills you have covered in your test family.
  
  
• View students’ performance and growth, and export the data as needed.

• New targeted skillsheets are included for every section and focus on a single skill or small set of closely-related skills. Each skillsheet includes between eight and ten questions, with a related worked example from the textbook listed for each question. One optional problem-solving question is also included.
  
  
• Exercise questions have been restructured to give students more opportunities to embed core skills before attempting harder questions, ensuring a greater chance of success as the questions increase in complexity. 

• A NEW set of PowerPoint documents for classroom presentation include the Lesson Starter, Key Ideas, Building Understanding questions, Worked Examples and Now You Try questions for each section.
  
  
• Teachers can use these presentations to guide lessons, focus students’ attention and promote class or group discussion before students work on exercise questions

• Essential Mathematics for the Victorian Curriculum Third Edition has been developed by the most experienced and authoritative team of authors writing for the Victorian Curriculum.
  
  
• Carefully graded exercises and logical topic development allow for deep understanding of concepts and meet the needs of a wide range of abilities.
  
  
• Our trusted working programs (now known as Growth, Standard and Advanced) are carefully designed to ensure all students have some experience across understanding fluency, problem solving and reasoning questions, while the 10A content fully prepares students heading into VCE mathematics.
