A trusted approach to meeting the requirements of the new Australian Curriculum and state-based curricula

Time-saving support in the Online Teaching Suite for every teacher

NEW Every exercise question in Years 7-10 is now supported by a fully worked solution. Teachers can choose how and when to enable access to worked solutions, making it a flexible tool for classroom use, independent study, or revision.
 
Downloadable pre-tests, tests and answers for each chapter allows teachers to gauge students understanding and comprehension of topics for Years 7-10.
 
A downloadable version of the in-book Challenge exercises and an answer sheet can be used as in-class lessons or homework revision sheets for Years 5-10. Plus, additional homework worksheets and skill sheets are included in the Online Teaching Suite.

This fourth edition explicitly meets the requirements of both the Victorian Curriculum Version 2.0 and the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, with clear support documents to help teachers track coverage. Additional support also maps the material to the NSW Syllabus and WA Curriculum.

NEW Distinctive approach to algorithmic thinking, with the material deeply integrated with mathematical reasoning, makes it easy for teachers to embed algorithmic thinking into their regular maths lessons. The activities are designed to be accessible and mathematically grounded with clear links to curriculum descriptors and proficiencies.

NEW The Incorporating algorithmic thinking chapter in each title includes a dedicated section with questions from the Australian Maths Trust’s competitions to build algorithmic reasoning in an accessible way. Solutions are also included in our Worked solutions for the chapter.

NEW First Nations investigations across Years 5-10 are both curriculum-aligned and thoughtfully developed by two respected voices in Australia’s First Nations mathematics education. The authors’ work ensures that the content is accurate, respectful, and includes enough context and explanation to support confident delivery, even for teachers new to this space.
 
In Years 5 and 6, teachers can develop student understanding through whole-class and individual activities which are included in every section of the print books.
 
In Years 7-10, extension topics build on the required curriculum content to provide a robust understanding of mathematics and provide excellent preparation for senior secondary courses.
 
The highly experienced and authoritative team of educators include authors of Cambridge’s senior mathematics titles and AMSI-affiliated experts.

A teacher resource guide details all the exercises, downloadable worksheets, AMSI resources and other material available to support the topics in the textbook, providing a helpful tool for teachers to develop teaching plans that are appropriate for their classes.

In Years 5 and 6, chapter tests, Print and practice sheets and NEW Print and play games offer flexible options for concept development and consolidation.
