VICMaths - a better way to VCE Math Mastery

An error has occurred. Error: CengageTopMenu is currently unavailable.

Built upon research into the science of learning, Nelson VICmaths 11 & 12 is a complete teaching and learning solution to create focused and successful VCE mathematics students.

The design and structure of the series has been informed by teacher advice and evidence-based pedagogy, with the focus on preparing VCE students for their exams and maximising their learning achievement.

Closely following the 2023 VCE Study Design, VICmaths includes exam practice in every chapter, CAS instructions for TI-Nspire and ClassPad, clear worked examples and an extensive array of practice and revision resources to offer educators and learners a better way to maths mastery.

Graded exercises include Recap, Mastery and Exam Practice questions, exposing students to exam practice in every lesson.
- Recap questions revise content from a previous chapter and are great lesson warm-ups
- Mastery questions provide skills practice and are usually linked to worked examples
- Exam practice questions apply learned skills to VCE exam and exam-style problems.
Past VCE exam questions are graded by colour-coded success percentages based on VCAA data to show students how difficult past students found a question and give them a good understanding of their own progress. Questions are always featured easiest to hardest.

Cumulative exams 1 and 2 in each chapter are mini-VCE exams that provide cumulative practice and revision by assessing students on content from that chapter and all previous chapters.
Precise coverage of the new study design: no long explanations of theory that is outside the course to help keep students focused on what matters.
Exam hacks and VCE question analysis in every chapter provide practical assessor advice and feedback.
Exam-targeted worked examples work in concert with matched examples in the VICmaths Mastery Workbooks help students build the skills they need to succeed.

Mastery Workbooks

VICmaths Mastery Workbooks work within the VICmaths series to scaffold students understanding using example-based learning strategies to build higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.

The workbook contains matched examples that pair with each of the worked examples in the student book. This extra level will build students procedural fluency, equipping them to succeed.

Matched examples are equivalent to Worked examples and consist of:

A question
A Steps column with instructions
A Working column for students to complete each step toward the answer

The workbooks are ideal for being used both in class and independently at home.
