Maths Modelling & Problem Solving
Practice Questions by Topic
Maths A
Maths B
Maths C
by Julie Quinn and Owain Rowland-Jones
Each of these three titles provides a comprehensive range of questions for each topic, with an emphasis on modelling and problem solving. They are particularly valuable for Queensland senior maths students.
For each topic there are
fully worked solutions for each questions
formula test for each topic
general strategies for approaching questions on the topic
student record sheet, to record progress
tips for helping to solve questions
In addition there is a complete practice paper, using the format and layout of a senior maths examination, with annotations to show students how to approach the paper.
The result is a book that allows students to experience the complete range of the types of questions asked and which they can use:
in Year 11 and Year 12, while studying the topic in class
before examination and assessment for revision and final study
to concentrate on and improve in weaker topics
