JACARANDA MATHS QUEST FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA Developed by expert Australian teachers for ALL students Tried, tested and trusted. The Maths Quest series focuses on helping teachers achieve learning success for every student — ensuring no student is left behind and no student is held back. Because both what and how students learn matter. Series features: The digital Supercourse provides free Pre-Primary to Year 10 questions to support students in areas of weakness. Every lesson includes a teaching video that can be used in many ways, such as pre-and post-learning, flipped classrooms, class discussions, and revisiting key concepts. Quick quizzes with auto-marked questions for each topic give you a quick snapshot of each student’s progress. Learning intentions and success criteria are provided for every subtopic so students know what they need to learn and can track their progress. Visual summary maps at the end of each chapter help summarise and consolidate understanding. Worked examples featuring THINK/WRITE columns in every lesson provide exemplary solutions and explanations. eWorkbook with additional downloadable activities supports deeper learning.
