About the authors

A new edition of the most trusted Queensland senior mathematics resources for students and teachers. 

NEW in this edition

  • Enhanced support for Problem-Solving & Modelling Tasks (PSMTs): General, Methods and Specialist users are provided with step-by-step-instructions and video resources on how to complete a PSMT. Students undertaking the Essential Mathematics course are supported with an additional Assessment Advice chapter. 
  • Carefully revised categorisation of Simple Familiar, Complex Familiar and Complex Unfamiliar questions: All questions follow the QCAA’s degree of difficulty categorisation and progress from Simple Familiar through Complex Familiar to Complex Unfamiliar within the exercise. 
  • Exam-format revision tools
    • Chapter review questions closely reflect the QCE exam-format,
    • Essential Mathematics now includes unit review chapters, 
    • General Mathematics questions are calculator assumed,
    • Mathematical Methods questions are clearly labelled as tech-free or tech-assumed.
  • Exam generator: Teachers can create custom practice exams using previous QCAA questions plus additional QCAA-style questions with mark allocation and solutions. 
  • Refined approach to suit the needs of each course
    • Content and topic sequencing are closely aligned to the new syllabus.
    • Skills checklists now include sample questions and are available in all courses.
    • The language and amount of text in Essential Mathematics has been refined.
    • New section summaries in General Mathematics consolidate learning.

More of what you loved about the first edition

  • An author team you trust, with unrivalled expertise in writing examples and problems that prepare students for external exams, now with additional consultant authors and reviewers with extensive classroom experience. 
  • A proven teaching and learning formula well known to users of Cambridge textbooks:
    • In General, Methods and Specialist Mathematics, logical and manageable topic development is combined with step-by-step worked examples, key point summaries, a focus on cognitive verbs and worked solutions for all exercises in the Interactive Textbook. 
    • Essential Mathematics encourages students to first become fluent with fundamental skills and concepts (Fundamentals questions) before applying those skills and concepts to real-world contexts (Applications questions). Students have access to vital revision and prerequisite knowledge through Cambridge HOTmaths. 
    • Innovative digital resources fully integrated with the print textbook allow for a flipped classroom approach, a powerful Learning Management System and independent learning opportunities.
