Essential Mathematics for the Australian Curriculum Year 9 Fourth Edition (print and interactive textbook powered by HOTmaths)

Trusted coverage of the Australian Curriculum Version 9.0, now with powerful diagnostic tools to identify and address gaps in student knowledge.

NOTE: For Western Australian customers who are continuing to follow the current Australian Curriculum (not v 9.0), we are committed to supporting the Third Edition resources. 

What’s New:

• New content is introduced in the logical and sequential way you expect from Essential Mathematics to encourage deep understanding and support teachers’ delivery of the new curriculum.
• A technology and computational thinking activity per chapter addresses the curriculum’s focus on algorithms, computational thinking, and the use of technology, and encourages students to use digital tools to solve a range of mathematical problems.
• Targeted skillsheets – one for each lesson in each book – focus on a single skill or small set of related skills and are supported by worked examples.
• Editable PowerPoint lesson summaries, ideal for classroom presentation, help focus student attention and promote class discussion (available for teacher use in the Online Teaching Suite).
• Introducing our diagnostic assessment tool: developed in consultation with classroom teachers, this powerful tool offers the flexibility to build your tests using either the structure of the textbook or the curriculum, and choose to drill down to the level of individual mathematical skills. Identify and address gaps in student knowledge with intuitive reporting and follow-up work suggestions (the diagnostic assessment tool is accessed through the Online Teaching Suite).

A proven teaching and learning formula:

• Developed by the most experienced and authoritative team of authors writing for the Australian Curriculum, this new edition continues to combine logical and sequential topic development with well-graded exercises and linked examples to encourage deep understanding of concepts.
• Carefully designed, differentiated learning pathways (Foundation, Standard and Advanced) ensure all students have some experience across all question types. Topics within chapters are clearly labelled as revision, core or extension to assist with course planning and streaming.
• Integrated digital resources and a powerful Learning Management System, powered by Cambridge HOTmaths, enhance the teaching and learning experience.
