This book provides a structured and clear interpretation of the Australian mathematics curriculum, detailing what a child is required to know by the end of Year 4. It covers the syllabus topic by topic, explaining what is to be taught and how it is being taught in Australian classrooms. It is a comprehensive, well-presented and easy to understand book which provides an ideal reference for parents to consult when they wish to provide assistance in supporting the development of their child's mathematical understanding.
The Australian mathematics curriculum caters for the acquisition of basic concept skills and processes. It contains three content strands, each divided into a number of sub-strands or topics, which set out what needs to be learnt. ‘The Number and Algebra’ and ‘Measurement and Geometry’ strands each have 4 sub-strands, and the ‘Statistics and Probability’ strand has been divided into 2 substrands. Entwined with these are the four proficiency strands of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning, which determine how the content is studied and developed so that mathematical learning and understanding continue to progress over the years. It is most important for a child to be aware that each sub-strand is not an isolated topic but is interrelated with the others, and also with other subjects, for example, Science and Geography. Technology such as computers, touch pad applications and calculators should be utilised as an aid, when appropriate.
In Year 4, the emphasis is on mathematical experiences that are meaningful in real life. These experiences should build on learning acquired from Kindergarten through Year 3. Students should be encouraged to select appropriate procedures in problem solving, to justify and give reasons for their choice, and to assess the reasonableness of their answers.
Each day of our lives, we use many mathematical concepts and processes, usually without our realising that we are doing it. We constantly have to solve problems which require mathematical thinking whether spatial, involving manipulating numbers, or needing an understanding of measurement in one form or another. The over-riding aim of the Australian curriculum is to develop confident students who are able to use their knowledge and understanding of mathematics effectively and efficiently in their everyday lives, regardless of where they live.

This book should prove to be an invaluable teaching aid for teachers, coaches and tutorial centers, because it thoroughly summarises the 10 major topics which are the basis of the Australian Curriculum.
It will be very beneficial to parents, because it will provide them with a very structured and clear idea of the core syllabus, and what their children should know by the end of Grade 5. If their child has a particular problem (say on adding fractions) it is very easy to find the page and explanations relating to that idea – and hence help their child.
Most important of all, it will prove to be an excellent reference for students of all ability groups. The user friendly format and layout makes it very much faster for a pupil to thoroughly master one major topic in a relatively short period of time, because it is so easy to see how each idea is linked to the previous one. It has all the rules and corresponding examples clearly set out topic by topic, page by page. In addition it teaches the pupils to read explanations, as well as to look back and research similar problems. And of course the graded exercises at the end of each topic chapter will help students of all abilities to practise and apply their knowledge. It is so easy for students to work through the book by themselves with the minimum of supervision and help.
This book has been prepared in conjunction with the New National Curriculum for year 6 and covers the major 11 topics. It provides a very structured and clear idea of the new syllabus by relating similar concepts so that students can see how the topics fit together. There are explanations of the theoretical concepts as well as fully worked examples and applications. Finally, there are diagnostic tests at the end of each topic according to the following descriptions:

This is the new Australian Curriculum edition of this bestselling maths study guide for Year 7 Mathematics.
It has been developed because of a need by students, parents, teachers and coaches for a comprehensive, well presented, easy to understand Maths summary book which covers the most important ideas in the recently developed National Year 7 Maths Curriculum throughout Australia.
Understanding Maths Year 7 Australian Curriculum Edition has been developed on the premise that students who wish to achieve confidence and success at this level should:
- Understand all the basic ideas and rules
- Practise these rules and ideas by going through graded exercises
- Understand why and how they made errors, so that hopefully they are reduced or eliminated in further exercises
- Memorise all important rules and formulae
This book has been written to fulfill these 4 vital requirements by incorporating the following benefits:
- Firstly, the book has been split up into the 11 major important sub-strands which are covered at all schools in Year 7 throughout Australia (i.e. Number and Place Value, Real Numbers, Patterns & Algebra, Geometric Reasoning, Measurements, Statistics, etc.).
- Each of these major topics has been broken down into a number of simpler ideas and rules, thus saving students valuable time in research.
- Most pages cover only one idea or rule, thus giving students clarity
- Each concept is thoroughly, but simply, explained for understanding.
- Each formula, rule or set of steps is highlighted in larger print for ease of memorising.
- Each formula and page contains at least one fully worked example. This not only reinforces understanding, but also shows the student how to APPLY each formula to typical questions.
- At the end of each chapter, there are usually 5 comprehensive graded exercises for practice, which cover all the ideas in the topic. If a student is not sure how to do a particular problem, all they need to do is turn back to the page number shown in order to find a very similar example.
- In addition, a great deal of extra time and expense has gone into the development of the text presentation, in order to make the subject matter more appealing and user friendly to this age group.
