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.
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!
