Real-Life Maths - Algebra by Walter Sherwood

The Real-Life Maths Series use engaging lessons to put maths into the context of real-world settings. The real-life lessons in this book can be used as reminders of old skills in new contexts, as an opportunity to show how a particular skill is used or as an enrichment activity for stronger students. This book is organised around four themes of interest to students: Sport, money, science/technology and travel/transportation. Eight key algebraic concepts are explored: Formulas; Ratios, Proportions and Percentages; Data and Graphs; Systems of Equations I and II; Quadratics; Nonlinear Functions; and Miscellaneous topics. Each activity has a teacher page that outlines the goal, context and answers, and provides extension activity options. ISBN 9781742398761
