VCE Maths Methods is a prerequisite for many university courses such as engineering, science, and finance. However, most VCE Maths Methods textbooks are not simple enough and don't contain enough exam-style questions to prepare students for their tests and exams.
Many VCE Maths Methods textbooks have a lot of complicated language, so the concepts themselves are quite difficult to understand and they end up either giving up or finding some other resources to find what it is talking about.
Very few VCE Maths Methods textbooks contain any exam-style questions, let alone enough of them. Once a student understands the fundamental concepts, practising exam style questions under timed conditions is the more effective way to increase their confidence and marks during exams and tests.
Also the solutions provided for the questions themselves often only contain the answer, rather than detailed solutions and since there are often errors, this is difficult for the student to confirm they have answered the question correctly or figure out how to do it, as there are no details (or not enough) to show the student how to do it.
VCE maths methods textbooks are published by a variety of publishers, here are some of the most common ones:
- Cambridge University Press
- Oxford University Press
- Pearson Australia
- Jacaranda Wiley:
- Cengage Learning Australia
- Elsevier
- Nelson Thornes
- Addison-Wesley
What's the alternative?
The Methods Made easy textbook! The problem with traditional textbooks is that they only show students how to answer questions, without explaining the reasoning behind the answers. This leaves students lacking a complete understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, these textbooks often do not include exam-style questions. To address these issues, this workbook is designed to help students understand how to solve questions by providing exam-style questions based on real exams. This workbook is more effective than traditional textbooks and has helped even struggling students achieve high scores. Using this workbook, students can improve their understanding, spend less time studying, and better prepare for exams.
