Carefully restructured to address the needs of a wider range of students as they progress through Stages 4 and 5
New Working Mathematically investigative tasks
New tools to help students keep track of their progress
Exceptional integrated digital resources that truly enhance maths learning
Building understanding questions follow on from the Key Ideas in Years 7&8 and Years 9&10 Core & Advanced / Extension Paths courses to promote class discussion and consolidate skills before students attempt the exercise questions. Stronger students can move straight to the Worked Examples and the Fluency section.
Now you try questions follow the Worked Examples to provide immediate practice with the same type of question before students start the exercises. These questions do not have worked solutions and can also be used by teachers as in-class demonstration.
The gradient of difficulty in exercises has been revised to increase every student’s opportunity for success as they work through questions that gradually progress from simple to more complex.
Hint boxes and Worked Examples placed within exercises in the Stage 5 Core & Standard Paths resources provide vital additional support for less advanced students.
Two separate working programs and careful curation and labelling of references to Advanced/Extension content in the Core & Standard Paths books ensure that students have the flexibility to move between pathways and to prepare for the Stage 6 course they choose.
Learning Intentions at the beginning of each lesson clearly state what the student can expect to achieve. Future learning is also indicated where the section content relates to concepts to be addressed at a later stage.
A Success Criteria checklist – including example questions – at the end of each chapter allows students to tick off what they have learnt and provides a quick revision tool.
New progress quizzes in the Years 7 & 8 and Core & Advanced/Extension Paths books give students extra practice as they work through the sections.
Working Mathematically investigative tasks for every chapter provide opportunities for students to apply and consolidate their learning through open-ended and exploratory tasks. Solving routine and non-routine problems through these tasks prepares students for the investigative-style assignments required in Stage 6. Statistical Investigations will also be provided for chapters on Statistics.
Investigations covering First Nations perspectives.
Ongoing enhancements on the Cambridge HOTmaths platform ensure students always have access to the best learning experience using digital resources that complement and consolidate your classroom teaching classroom learning.
