The Cambridge Mathematics General series closely follows the new Stage 6 Mathematics General syllabus, covering all required Strands and Focus Studies for Preliminary and the HSC General 1 and General 2 courses. Designed to cater for a wide range of learning styles and abilities, these student-friendly texts develop and reinforce the skills your students need to manage personal finances and to effectively work and participate in an increasingly complex society.

• The new Focus Studies are presented in discrete chapters to provide teachers with the flexibility to integrate Focus Study content across the Strands in a variety of ways to suit the teaching and learning approaches, student abilities and knowledge in their classroom. A suggested program for integrating the Focus Studies is provided for teachers via Cambridge GO, and cross-references are included in the margins to highlight the points in a chapter where the Focus Study topics could be introduced.

• Interactive and PDF textbooks provide digital resourcing options to suit the needs of schools and their students. An optional integrated program is available on Cambridge HOTmaths, our online maths teaching and learning resource, to provide valuable revision of prior knowledge and to reinforce basic mathematical skills.

• Hundreds of PowerPoint slides in the Teacher Resource Packages provide alternative and additional presentation of the course content with extra examples, challenge questions and hints.
