A complete solution for Level 6 of the New Zealand Mathematics Curriculum, the
Gamma Mathematics and
Gamma Fundamentals cover all thirteen NCEA Level 1 Mathematics Achievement Standards. The material in the books has been selected so that schools can design courses that meet the needs of all students. Most students will enter for 6 or 7 Achievement Standards at most, so a double-book solution means less waste but there is some overlap in Number and Statistics so a narrow choice is not dictated to schools.
Gamma Fundamentals covers nine achievement standards. It is the ideal text for students who want to gain NCEA Level 1 credits early, or who are not continuing with Maths after Year 11. The material in Gamma Fundamentals contains one externally assessed Achievement Standard (1.12). All the rest are internally assessed.
Gamma Mathematics also covers nine of the Achievement Standards, including all the externally assessed material. It is the ideal text for students continuing on to do NCEA at Level 2 in Year 12.
Gamma Mathematics Workbook contains a huge array of exercises that are linked to the corresponding Gamma Mathematics. This makes it easy for teachers to choose, and students to remember, homework, extra practice and revision exercises that match what has been done in class.
This workbook can be used alongside any textbook, and contains the worked examples, content summaries, and real-world, in-context problems, investigations and puzzles that David Barton is famous for – encouraging all students to gain and demonstrate a thorough understanding of mathematical concepts at NCEA Level 1.
