Key Features: Worked examples followed by a "Try It!" question to ensure understanding. Lesson exercises that include the following exercise categories: Basic Practice (simple questions involving a direct application of the concepts); Further Practice (more challenging questions); Maths@Work (questions that apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations); Brainworks (questions involving higher order thinking or an open-ended approach to problems). Review exercise, an "Extend Your Learning Curve" activity, and "problem solving corner" exercises are also integrated throughout. The answer key at the back of the book provides answers to the Try It! and the problems in the exercises for the Basic Practice, Further Practice, and Maths@Work questions. It does not include answers to the class activities, Brainworks questions, or the Extend Your Learning Curve activities; the answers can be found in Teacher's Notes & Solutions.
