There is nothing else like this resource. It’s different from a standard maths textbook as it addresses higher level skills and higher level thinking that are much harder to assess and often missed. It also promotes communication and writing skills.
Dr Caroline Yoon, who developed this resource, says: “Rather than being a textbook trying to cover a wide area, the resource is designed to offer flexibility to teachers who can choose to use the resources that best fit the needs of their students.”
The resource consists of 5 booklets of activities, one targeted at each of Year 9-13. It could also be used as an extension activity in other Years, including intermediate school level. For each Year, there is a teacher manual containing notes and answers, a student booklet containing the questions and separate answer sheets. The resource is print-based with electronic and digital supporting material. See the LEMMA series on the NZCER website for more information.
