QCAA new syllabus Maths resources... We've got it sorted!

Nelson QMaths has been a reliable maths series for 25 years and has been rewritten with complete and authoritative coverage to exactly match the new QCAA (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority) syllabus. Nelson QMaths is written for Queensland schools by Queensland authors: it is not an adaption of a resource for another state!

Nelson QMaths is clearly mapped to the syllabus, with a strong focus on assessment including exam style questions to support students for the external exam. These new resources for the QCAA syllabus will ensure school leavers have the skills they require to be lifelong learners.

Senior Mathematics resources written from the ground up by experienced teachers and authors to perfectly match the new QCAA syllabus.

The Nelson QMaths series now covers the four new senior mathematics courses: Essential Mathematics, General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics.

What do you need to know as a teacher?

There have been key changes to the new syllabus including:

• A new approach to assessment, including a final external examination in Year 12 for General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics that will count for 50% of a student's course assessment
• A renewed focus on problem solving, mathematical modelling and digital technology
• Stronger monitoring of school-based assessment, with QCAA approval required for summative tasks in Units 3 and 4
• Change of approach in statistics: moving closer to a practical study based on sampling rather than a theoretical study
• Removal of school choice of topics: all topics in the syllabus must be learned.
