Introduction

Maths Quest 11 Advanced General Mathematics is specifically designed for the VCE General
Mathematics course, for students on the Specialist Mathematics pathway, and based on the
award-winning Maths Quest series. This resource contains:
• a student textbook with accompanying eBookPLUS
• a teacher edition with accompanying eGuidePLUS
• a solutions manual.

Student textbook
Full colour is used throughout to produce clearer graphs and headings, to provide bright,
stimulating photos and to make navigation through the text easier.
Clear, concise theory sections contain worked examples and highlighted important text and
remember boxes.
Icons appear for the eBookPLUS to indicate that interactivities, eLessons and digital documents
are available online to help with the teaching and learning of particular concepts.
Worked examples in a Think/Write format provide clear explanation of key steps and suggest
presentation of solutions. Many worked examples have eBookPLUS icons to indicate that a
Tutorial is available to elucidate the concepts being explained. Worked examples also contain
CAS calculator instructions and screens to exemplify judicious use of the calculator.
Exercises contain many carefully graded skills and application problems, including multiple
choice questions. Cross-references to relevant worked examples appear with the first ‘matching’
question throughout the exercises. Exercises also contain questions from past VCE examination
papers as well as Exam tips.
A selection of questions are tagged as technology-free to indicate to students that they should
avoid using their calculators or other technologies to assist them in finding a solution.
Exam practice sections contain exam style questions, including time and mark allocations for
each question. Fully worked solutions are available on the eBookPLUS for students.
Each chapter concludes with a summary and chapter review exercise containing examination-
style questions (multiple choice, short answer and extended response), which help consolidate
students’ learning of new concepts. Also included are questions from past VCE exams along
with relevant Exam tips.
Technology is fully integrated (in line with VCE recommendations).

Student website — eBookPLUS

The accompanying eBookPLUS contains the entire student textbook in HTML plus additional
exercises. Students may use the eBookPLUS on laptops, school or home computers, and cut and
paste material for revision, assignments or the creation of notes for exams.
Career profiles and History of mathematics place mathematical concepts in context.
Investigations, often suggesting the use of technology, provide further discovery learning
opportunities.

Introduction vii
 WorkSHEET icons link to editable Word documents, and may be completed on screen or printed
and completed by hand.
SkillSHEET icons link to printable pages designed to help students revise required concepts, and
contain additional examples and problems.
Interactivity icons link to dynamic animations which help students to understand difficult
concepts.
eLesson icons link to videos or animations designed to elucidate concepts in ways other than
what the teacher can achieve in the classroom.
Tutorial icons link to one-way engagement activities which explain the worked examples in
detail for students to view at home or in the classroom.
Test yourself tests are also available and answers are provided for students to receive instant
feedback.

Teacher website — eGuidePLUS

The accompanying eGuidePLUS contains everything in the eBookPLUS and more. Two tests
per chapter, fully worked solutions to WorkSHEETs, the work program and other curriculum
advice in editable Word format are provided. Maths Quest is a rich collection of teaching and
learning resources within one package.
Maths Quest 11 Advanced General Mathematics provides ample material, such as exercises,
analysis questions, investigations, worksheets and technology files, from which teachers may set
school assessed coursework (SAC).
