Excel Essential Skills Mathematics Revision & Exam Workbook Year 8

Introduction There are two workbooks in this series for the Year 8 Australian Curriculum Mathematics course: • Excel Essential Skills Year 8 Mathematics Revision & Exam Workbook (this book) and • Excel Essential Skills Year 8 Mathematics Extension Revision & Exam Workbook. This book should be completed before the Extension book. It is the core book, written specifically for the Year 8 Australian Curriculum Mathematics course and the third in a series of eight Revision & Exam Workbooks for Years 7 to 10. Each book in the series has been specifically designed to help students revise their work so that they can prepare for success in their tests during the school year and in their half-yearly and yearly exams. The emphasis in this book is for students to master and consolidate the core skills and concepts of the course through extensive practice. This will ensure that students have a solid foundation on which to build towards both the Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics courses in senior years. The following features will help students achieve this goal:

Ü This book is a workbook. Students write in the book, ensuring that they have all their

questions and working in the same place. This is invaluable when revising for exams—no lost notes or missing pages!

Ü Each page is a self-contained, carefully graded unit of work; this means students can plan their revision effectively by completing set pages of work for each section.

Ü Every topic from the Year 8 Mathematics syllabus is covered in this book, so if students have a particular area of weakness they can concentrate on that topic.

Ü A Topic Test is provided at the end of each chapter. These tests are designed to help

students test their knowledge of each syllabus topic. Practising tests similar to those they will sit at school will build students’ confidence and help them perform well in their actual tests.

Ü Four Exam Papers have been included to test students on the complete Year 8

Mathematics course, helping students prepare for their half-yearly and yearly exams.

Ü A marking scheme is included in both the Topic Tests and Exam Papers to give students an idea of their progress.

Ü A Topic Test and Exam Paper Feedback Chart, found on the inside back cover, enables students to record their scores in all tests and exams.

Ü Answers to all questions are provided at the back of the book. Ü There is a page reference to the Excel Mathematics Study Guide Year 8 in the top

right-hand corner of all pages, excluding the tests. If students need help with a specific section, they will find relevant explanations and worked examples on these pages of the study guide.

A note from the author

Mathematics is best learned if you have pen and paper with you and do every question in writing. Do not just read through the book—work through it and answer the questions, writing down all working. If this approach is coupled with a menu of motivation, realistic goal-setting and a positive attitude, it will lead to better marks in the examinations. My best wishes are with you; I believe this book will help you achieve the best possible results. Good luck in your studies! AS Kalra, MA, MEd, BSc, BEd vi © Pascal Press ISBN 978 1 74020 033 2
