Description:

On Track 1 is a write-on student workbook that will help mid-band math's students achieve their full potential in Year 9. This book is best bought at the start of the school year and used throughout the year as a homework resource. Alternatively, the book may be bought towards the end of the year and used as an independent study program leading up to final Year 9 exams.

On Track 1 has 148 pages and covers Levels 3 and 4 of the New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Curriculum. The Number chapters provide detailed work from Stage 6 (Advanced Additive) and Stage 7 (Advanced Multiplicative) of the Secondary Numeracy Project, while the large Statistics chapter explores the Statistical Enquiry Cycle. Instruction boxes and worked examples appear on almost every page and help students with independent study. At the end of each chapter there is a valuable revision test and a full set of answers is included. Sigma has now perforated all pages so that homework assignments can be handed in while work is ongoing and the answer pages may be retained by the teacher if desired. A handy reference page illustrates the links between 'On Track 1' chapters and the relevant curriculum levels and achievement objectives.

Once completed, On Track 1 provides a useful set of study notes at exam time and should be kept and used as a reference book in Year 10.
