Understanding Year 5 Maths: Australian Curriculum Edition
Brand New Condition
The majority of teachers and parents would agree that
students who wish to achieve confidence and success at this level should:
Understand all the basic ideas and rules
Practise these rules and ideas by going through graded
exercises
Understand why and how they made errors,so that hopefully
they are reduced or eliminated in further exercises
This book has been written to fulfill these 3 vital
requirements by incorporating the following features:
Firstly, the book has been split up into the 10 major
important topics which have been finalised in the New Australian Curriculum by
ACARA.
Each of these major topics has been broken down into a
number of simpler ideas and rules, thus saving educators and students valuable
time in research.
Each page covers only one idea or rule, thus giving students
clarity.
Each concept is thoroughly, but simply, explained for understanding.
Each formula, rule or set of steps is highlighted in larger
print for ease of memorising.
Each formula and page contains at least one fully worked
example. This not only reinforces understanding, but also shows the student how
to apply each formula to typical questions.
At the end of each chapter, there are usually 5 or more
comprehensive graded exercises for practise, which cover all the ideas in the
topic. If a student is not sure how to do a particular problem, all they need
to do is turn back to the page number shown in order to find a very similar
example.
In addition, the text presentation is well spaced out, in
order to make the subject matter more appealing to this age group.
As you can see this book should prove to be an invaluable
aid for teachers, because it thoroughly covers the 10 major sub strands which
are the basis of the New National Curriculum. In addition, there are carefully
graded exercises which will provide confidence and success to the weaker
students, while at the same time there are more difficult levels to extend and
stimulate students of all ability groups. It will be very beneficial to
parents, because it will provide them with a very structured and clear idea of
the new syllabus, and what their children should know by the end of Year 5. If
their child has a particular problem (say on adding fractions) it is very easy
to find the page and explanations relating to that idea – and hence help their
child.
Most important of all, it will prove to be an excellent text
and reference for students of all ability groups. The format and layout makes
it very much easier for a pupil to thoroughly master one major topic in a
relatively short period of time, because it is so easy to see how each idea is
linked to the previous one. It has all the rules and corresponding examples
clearly set out topic, page by page. In addition it teaches the pupils to read
explanations, as well as to look back and research similar problems.
From the author, Warwick Marlin:
"This book has proved difficult to write, simply
because it is a New Curriculum, and very little in depth content description
has been given by ACARA. Therefore I have included many more concepts (than
those stated in the curriculum guideline) to make certain that every topic is
more than adequately covered. Also, I have added many extension concepts, like
percentages, which are only meant to be introduced in Grade 6. Primary school
Maths is understood more through practice and doing, and therefore I have tried
to keep the explanations as short and clear as possible, while at the same time
I have illustrated ideas with examples and diagrams wherever possible. In
summary, I sincerely believe that this book will provide greater understanding,
confidence, enjoyment, and success to all students who use it."
