The best preparation assessment and examination support available for Western Australian students
A proven learning formula for success for EVERY student
Unparalleled digital resources for the classroom and at home
A brand new resource developed for Mathematics Essential students
The series includes a resource developed for the Mathematics Essential course in Western Australia. Comprehensively following the WACE syllabus, our Mathematics Essential resources feature:
- explicit use of the Mathematical Thinking Process (MTP) of Statistical Investigation Process (SIP);
- diagnostic pre-tests in Units 1&2 to ensure all students have the required mathematical skills to succeed in the course;
- carefully worded language to suit all students, including ESL students;
- practice externally set tasks (ESTs);
- clear Learning Intentions at the start of a topic paired with a Success Criteria checklist at the end of the chapter. Linked questions in the checklist provide a snapshot of the key skills.
Our exceptional exam preparation support includes:
- extensive revision material for Methods and Specialist resources with several dedicated revision chapters plus one chapter that revises the whole book;
- terminology and notation that reflect what students will encounter in exams and other assessments;
- worked examples with screenshots and instructions for solving using both TI-Nspire or Casio ClassPad;
- careful consideration of calculator use. Questions best answered with a CAS calculator are clearly identified for Applications;
- plenty of practice for final exams using our extensive Exam Generator.
- Logical topic development is combined with a wealth of examples, exercises, exam-style questions and a focus on what is important to guide students to success in senior maths courses.
- Student-friendly language caters to a range of learning abilities without sacrificing any depth or rigour.
- Carefully developed questions help students of all ability levels understand concepts, develop mathematical skills, apply maths to real-life contexts and prepare for assessments.
- Syllabus topics are covered with a ‘low-bar, high-ceiling’ approach, giving all students the opportunity to reach their goals while offering greater depth for students who are aiming high.
- Videos of worked examples are accompanied by a range of other video types including guides for calculator use and conceptual videos showing how the Desmos interactives can be used.
- Workspaces and self-assessment tools for all exercise questions allow students to answer all questions online.
- Students can view demonstration videos of worked examples at their own pace to build understanding, consolidate skills, revise and prepare for exams.
- Auto-marked quick quizzes for each chapter give students more practice in each topic and immediate feedback.
- Worked solutions in the Interactive Textbook for all questions can be enabled by the teacher and provide opportunities for students to self-assess their work and alert the teacher to questions they found difficult.
