The Solving Real-Life Stuff with Maths titles go beyond abstract theory and help students in years 7—10 to understand the practical application of the mathematical concepts they learn from text books.
Each book contains an array of challenging, hands-on activities and high-interest topics (such as sport and bungee-jumping Barbie dolls!) that will motivate and engage even the most reluctant learner in your classroom and foster an active-learning environment. Most units have a link to general science concepts, making them an ideal cross-curriculum resource.
Students are encouraged to work together and to use technological materials and computer programs such as Excel to complete tasks.
While some topics are self-contained, several require preparation to ensure each lesson is a success; the teacher’s notes section lists the required equipment and provides helpful advice in this regard.
An assessment rubric is provided to help teachers and students to focus on the key skills and knowledge learnt in each unit and an extensive answer section will assist teachers with marking.
