Author Description

This textbook is for Year 9 students who struggle with mathematics and who often have very poor basic numeracy and literacy skills. The text provides a highly scaffolded pathway through Stage 5.1 to help students successfully undertake the syllabus requirements needed to complete the new Year 10 School Certificate. It also helps them achieve success at E2, D3 and D4. Included with the textbook is a CD-ROM that contains a copy of the text, worksheets linked to every exercise and video clips showing the author, Robert Yen, demonstrating solutions to selected worked examples in the text. The CD-ROM also contains animated tutorials on basic mathematical concepts that students can complete at their own pace.
