how to use the CD-ROM

The CD-ROM, either packaged with this text or available on your school network, contains the entire text in PDF format, with margin icons hotlinked to other sections of the book or to additional resource material. The icons have been colour-coded depending on their particular application in each instance. Some icons will be more than one colour where they fulfil more than one use: Red = Explanation Green = Practice Purple = Revision Orange = Learning technology Teal = Using technology

Worksheets are blackline masters in PDF format that can be printed and copied for classroom use. They include brainstarter assignments, further practice and review questions, investigations, applications, remedial or extension work, games, puzzles and crosswords. Answers can be found in the accompanying Teacher Resource Pack. Skillsheets are reference sheets with worked examples and exercises that teach prerequisite skills from a previous topic, especially useful for elementary learners in catch-up lessons.
