Cambridge Essential Mathematics / HOTmaths Integrated program

for the Australian Curriculum Year 8
1 Aims of the program and suggestions for use

Cambridge HOTmaths teacher and student subscriptions are available to bundle with the
Cambridge Essential Mathematics for the Australian Curriculum textbook series. This program
integrates the content of the two resources, suggesting which HOTmaths topics, lessons, widgets,
walkthroughs and HOTsheets could be used with the textbook topics. It is provided for the use of
teachers and students (and parents).
A Cambridge HOTmaths student account allows students to use the full range of HOTmaths
content in class or at home, and enables the teacher to use the PROGRESS TRACKER (a
learning management system) to monitor students work and topic quiz scores. (Parents can also
track their own childs work). This makes it an ideal homework and revision resource.
A Cambridge HOTmaths teacher account allows HOTmaths to be run on one computer in a
classroom, and is particularly useful when delivered via data projectors and interactive
whiteboards.
Examples of activities which can be done with
student accounts on individual computers at
home or in class:
Revisit work from earlier terms or years
where requisite prior knowledge is lacking.
Do a HOTmaths lesson as homework to
prepare for a lesson using the textbook.
Do a TOPIC QUIZ or a test from the TEST
GENERATOR (new in 2011) as homework
or classwork.
Do SCORCHER quizzes for homework, or
when other assignments have been finished
early.
Do a HOTmaths lesson to catch up on
missed work.
Revise and prepare for tests and exams
using HOTmaths lessons.
Try the alternative approach of an
interactive WIDGET or WALKTHROUGH
when having difficulty grasping a concept
or learning a skill.
Use the DICTIONARY to test and reinforce
understanding of mathematical terminology
and use the links provided to see
mathematical terms in use.
Match work to ability levels.
Suggestions of types of activities to do in class

(which can be accomplished with a teacher
account):
Revise work from earlier years.
Display an interactive WIDGET in class to
illustrate a concept.
After going through a widget, print out
multiple copies of an accompanying
HOTSHEET to work through
Display a interactive WALKTHROUGH
example for the class to suggest answers for
the embedded questions.
Use the TEST GENERATOR (new in
2011) to print out a test to do on paper
Display and discuss the HOTmaths lesson
notes as an alternative to the textbook topic
introduction.
Set advanced students to work as a group
on higher level HOTmaths activities while
the rest of the class tackles
foundation/standard work.
Set foundation-level students to work as a
group revisiting previous work (including
previous years) while the rest of the class
tackles other work.
Notes: The HOTmaths lessons contain other resources which teachers may prefer to use instead of
or in addition to those listed in this program. The lessons accessed via the HOTmaths/Essential maths
menu are selected from HOTmaths lesson database. The last column in the program shows the
names which the lessons have in HOTmaths standard menu.
Please notify any errors in this draft or provide feedback to: rparry@cambridge.org
The exact design and appearance of the menus and lessons may change.

2 How to use the integrated program

From Term 1 2011, the HOTmaths menus will allow you to select Essential Maths and the year
level. You will then be offered a menu based on the structure of the textbook.
1
In the textbook, note the topic/lesson

number of the section you are in
(1.3 in this case).
The HOTmaths icon indicates there
is linked content for the topic.
Note:
The example on this page is taken
from Year 7
Log on to HOTmaths and choose

Essential Maths and the year level
and the chapter (topic).
Choose the lesson number.

Where more than one
HOTmaths lesson links to
a textbook lesson the latter is
divided into parts A, B, C, etc.,
as in the case of 1.3.
The matching HOTmaths lesson will open under the textbook headings:

Notes
1
Purpose of this document Although it will not be necessary to use this document to
navigate to the right HOTmaths lesson, teachers should still check it for notes on the
widgets, walkthroughs and HOTsheets to use.
2
HOTmaths lessons For the Progress Tracker and other features to work, all widgets,
walkthroughs and HOTsheets have to be accessed from within HOTmaths lessons. In the
Essential Maths program these are the same as HOTmaths native lessons, as shown in
column 4 of the program. Having been written independently of the textbooks, they may
include some higher or lower level material.
3
Overlap between years HOTmaths content is structured on two-year levels whereas
the AC and Essential Maths is structured on single years, so some HOTmaths lessons
are used with both Year 7 and 8 of Essential Maths. In most cases this program suggests
an allocation of different widgets, walkthroughs and HOTsheets in a shared lesson to
each year, but there is also some repetition of resources.
4
HOTmaths questions and tests The questions and tests are based on the complete
HOTmaths lesson. Because not all of the lesson is aligned with Essential Maths, before
doing HOTmaths questions and tests, teachers are advised to check their scope and
levels.
5
Time allocation for the lessons This program is an integration of content rather than
time. The textbook and integrated program together contain more material than can be
covered in a year. HOTmaths lessons have been selected not for what will fit a the time
available, but for the fit of their content with the textbook content. Teachers will still
need to select material to fit the periods and homework time available. It is envisaged
that teachers might use the textbook more for some topics and HOTmaths more for
others, so that students are exposed to a balance of textbook-style and interactive
resources. The large size of the resource also ensures that all abilities and all learning
styles are catered for.
6
Frequent updates HOTmaths is a dynamic resource which is continually updated, and
during 2011 coverage of the AC will be strengthened, and this will be reflected in
updated versions of this program.
