| The core activity in a Maths classroom must be effective learning and
reinforcement of key ideas, followed up with students doing a worthwhile quantity of
problems. Gamma Mathematics (NCEA Edition) is a comprehensive textbook for
the Year 11 Maths classroom and has been completely revised to fully
meet the requirements of the nine NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standards:
AS
1.1 Use straightforward algebraic methods and solve equations
AS 1.2 Sketch and Interpret Graphs
AS 1.3 Solve problems involving measurement of
everyday objects
AS 1.4 Use geometric techniques to produce a
pattern or object
AS 1.5 Use statistical methods and information
AS 1.6 Determine probabilities
AS 1.7 Solve straightforward number problems in
context
AS 1.8 Solve right-angled triangle problems
AS 1.9 Use geometric reasoning to solve problems
What's
new? Teachers can select work from it appropriate for all students, and
its core of graded exercises will allow all students to make progress and achieve success
- both in traditional Maths activities, and using technology such as spreadsheets.
As well, Gamma Mathematics (NCEA Edition)
has many interesting puzzles
and investigations, some self-contained and some built into the chapter content, to
encourage lateral thinking and problem-solving skills.
Gamma Mathematics (NCEA Edition) is
published with an associated Homework
Book and Companion CD.
Taken together, the three components form a complete learning package
for NCEA Mathematics Level 1.
Mathematics has become an integral part of modern lives and careers. Students who
use Gamma Mathematics (NCEA Edition) will be laying solid foundations for
future mathematical learning, and stimulated to further their Mathematics education too. |
