About the authors

This third edition of Essential Mathematics for the Australian Curriculum Years 7 to 10&10A retains all of the features that have made this series so popular, and now addresses the needs of a wider range of students, provides even greater assistance for teachers and offers a new level of digital support.

Current curriculum edition for Western Australia

  • Revised treatment of the proficiency strands
    Pre-exercise ‘Building understanding’ questions immediately after ‘Key ideas’ promote class discussion and help consolidate the lessons’ fundamental skills and concepts for students who need the support, and allow stronger students to move more quickly to the worked examples and the Fluency of the exercise.
  • ‘Now you try’ questions for every worked example
    Questions without worked solutions have been added to every worked example. These additional questions give students immediate practice at the same type of question covered in the worked example before they get to the exercise. ‘Now you try’ questions also provide teachers with material if they want to demonstrate a question in the same style as the worked examples.
  • Modelling activities
    Modelling activities in each chapter encourage students to use the modelling process to define, solve, verify and communicate solutions to real-life problems.
  • Tools to help students keep track of their progress
    ‘Learning intentions’ at the beginning of each lesson clearly state what the student should expect to learn in the lesson. A checklist of success criteria, complete with short example questions, is then provided at the end of every chapter to assist students with keeping track of their progress, and also doubles as a form of quick revision.
  • Extra calculator material
    In addition to the CAS calculator activities retained as per previous editions, non-CAS activities will be provided for the first time for Years 10&10A (print) and Year 9 (online).
  • A new level of digital support
    The Interactive Textbook and Online Teaching Suite, powered by Cambridge HOTmaths, now offer an even greater level of digital support for teaching, learning, assessment and reporting through integrated digital resources and a powerful Learning Management System (LMS).
