My passion is for education as a whole, rather than just mathematics. In Australia I think it is too easy to take education for granted, because it is seen as a right but with too little appreciation for the responsibility that goes with it. But the more I travel to places where access to education is limited, the more I see children who treat it as a privilege, and the greater the difference it makes in their lives. But as far as mathematics goes, I grew up with mathematics textbooks in pieces on the kitchen table, and so I guess it continues a tradition.
We moved to typesetting, but writing a mathematics textbook with the printing tools available presented its own difficulties. For example, symbols had to be copied, cut and pasted by hand onto the original pages, which was very tedious and time-consuming! Fractions were also problematic: we would type a line containing all the numerators, and then a line underneath for all the denominators.
This book offers SELF TUTOR for every worked example. On the electronic copy of the textbook, access SELF TUTOR by clicking anywhere on a worked example to hear a step-by-step explanation by a teacher. This is ideal for catch-up and revision, or for motivated students who want to do some independent study outside school hours.

Cassie McKenzie has taught mathematics for 12 years in South Australia and Queensland. Cassie initially struggled with maths in high school before the combination of a brilliant teacher and excellent resources meant that she went on to excel in the subject during senior school and university. Cassie is passionate about instilling a love for mathematics by assisting students to gain confidence and find enjoyment through the challenge of mathematics.
The Senior Secondary Australian Curriculum: Mathematics consists of four subjects in mathematics, with each subject organised into four units. The subjects are differentiated, each focusing on a pathway that will meet the learning needs of a particular group of senior secondary students.
Essential Mathematics focuses on using mathematics effectively, efficiently and critically to make informed decisions. It provides students with the mathematical knowledge, skills and understanding to solve problems in real contexts for a range of workplace, personal, further learning and community settings. This subject provides the opportunity for students to prepare for post-school options of employment and further training.
Distributed Practice that is Meaningful and Purposeful
Practice is essential to learn mathematics. However, to be effective in improving student achievement, practice must be meaningful, purposeful, and distributed. Meaningful Purposeful Distributed Practice:
Sharon joined HOTmaths in 2004, seeing it as a potential agent of change in mathematics teaching and learning. She has vast experience teaching in government and private schools in Australia (including being an inaugural staff member of Bradfield College) and in an international technology college in Brunei. Sharon lectured in teacher education programs, presented to teacher audiences, and has been active in mathematics professional associations for many years. Currently Sharon is involved in doctoral research on technology in mathematics teaching and learning at Macquarie University.
Janine taught in NSW government secondary schools for 20 years. As a Mathematics Consultant for the NSW Department of Education and Training, she spent four years delivering professional development in both primary and secondary schools. For 3 years Janine wrote workbooks and online learning material for distance education students and she currently manages the content development for HOTmaths as well as writing much of the material.
If you are considering studying engineering at any level, then it is essential that you gain a sound foundation in mathematics, by mastering the skills contained in this course. Engineering is largely analytical in nature and each of the topics in this course will help to improve your potential as an engineer.
Understanding and using mathematical concepts, and being numerate, helps children know and describe the world around them and make meaning of these encounters. It is, therefore, an essential skill for successful daily life. Research and practice evidence suggest that mathematics and numeracy skills will support children to be confident and capable learners as they navigate the increasingly complex global community of the 21st century.
In Finland, the importance of upper-secondary school subject choices is currently increasing, as student selection to the universities will be more heavily based on the results of the matriculation examination in the future. By understanding the reasons behind those choices, we can discover the existing gaps in our education system and develop ways for education to assist youngsters in seeing the new, growing STEM opportunities and to meet the demands of the future.
In addition, the participants of this study included students who completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire data was collected with an online survey of first-year upper-secondary school students. This data represented a total of 1,539 first-year upper-secondary school students from the Oulu area (age 16). Of them, 802 students responded to the online survey, providing a response rate of 52.1%. The gender distribution of the participants was 40% male and 60% female.
