Support for every learner: Introducing new editions of Essential Mathematics CORE for the Australian Curriculum v9.0 and Victorian Curriculum v2.0

About the Webinar

Join Cambridge authors, David Greenwood and Justin Robinson, for an engaging webinar exploring the second editions of Essential Mathematics CORE for Years 7-10, designed specifically for students who need extra support to meet the minimum standards of the Australian Curriculum V9.0 and the Victorian Curriculum V2.0.

Discover how the second editions of these fully updated series:

• align with the AC V9.0 and VC 2.0 while providing clear scaffolding and confidence-building support
• work alongside the standard Essential Mathematics series to create flexible, differentiated pathways in both streamed and mixed-ability classrooms
• empower teachers with new tools for diagnostic assessment, targeted intervention, and inclusive teaching.

We’ll also showcase:

• the new Diagnostic Assessment system with reporting tools and follow-up resources
• strategies for fostering a growth mindset and student ownership of learning
• approaches to teaching computational thinking and technology use
• investigations developed with ATSIMA that embed First Nations’ perspectives in meaningful and curriculum-aligned ways
• other new features such as editable lesson summaries, targeted skillsheets and the addition of worked solutions and teacher notes.

A live Q&A will follow the main presentation where the authors and publisher will answer audience questions about the new resources.
