Included in the textbooks are Investigation, Class Discussion, Thinking Time, Journal Writing, Performance Task and Problems in Real-World Contexts to support the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Every chapter begins with a chapter opener which motivates students in learning the topic. Interesting stories about Mathematicians, real-life examples and applications are used to arouse students’ interest and curiosity so that they can appreciate the beauty of Mathematics in their surroundings. The use of ICT helps students to visualise and manipulate mathematical objects more easily, thus making the learning of Mathematics more interactive. Ready-to-use interactive ICT templates are available at http://www.shinglee.com.sg/ StudentResources/ Preface iii KEY FEATURES CHAPTER OPENER Each chapter begins with a chapter opener to arouse students’ interest and curiosity in learning the topic. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Learning objectives help students to be more aware of what they are about to study so that they can monitor their own progress. RECAP Relevant prerequisites will be revisited at the beginning of the chapter or at appropriate junctures so that students can build upon their prior knowledge, thus creating meaningful links to their existing schema. WORKED EXAMPLE This shows students how to apply what they have learnt to solve related problems and how to present their working clearly. A suitable heading is included in brackets to distinguish between the different Worked Examples. PRACTISE NOW At the end of each Worked Example, a similar question will be provided for immediate practice. Where appropriate, this includes further questions of progressive difficulty. SIMILAR QUESTIONS A list of similar questions in the Exercise is given here to help teachers choose questions that their students can do on their own. EXERCISE The questions are classified into three levels of difficulty – Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. SUMMARY At the end of each chapter, a succinct summary of the key concepts is provided to help students consolidate what they have learnt. REVIEW EXERCISE This is included at the end of each chapter for the consolidation of learning of concepts. CHALLENGE YOURSELF Optional problems are included at the end of each chapter to challenge and stretch high-ability students to their fullest potential. REVISION EXERCISE This is included after every few chapters to help students assess their learning. iv Preface Learning experiences have been infused into Investigation, Class Discussion, Thinking Time, Journal Writing and Performance Task. Investigation Class Activities are included to guide students to investigate and discover Discussion important mathematical concepts Questions are provided for students to discuss so that they can construct their in class, with the teacher acting as the facilitator. own knowledge meaningfully. The questions will assist students to learn new knowledge, think mathematically, and enhance their reasoning and oral communication skills. Thinking Time Journal Writing Key questions are also included at Opportunities are provided for students to appropriate junctures to check if reflect on their learning and to communicate students have grasped various concepts mathematically. It can also be used as a and to create opportunities for them to formative assessment to provide feedback to further develop their thinking. students to improve on their learning. Performance Task Mini projects are designed to develop research and presentation skills in the students.
