ICE-EM Mathematics Year 5

ICE-EM Mathematics Fourth Edition is designed to develop a strong foundation in mathematics for every student in Years 5 to 10. Developed by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI), ICE-EM Mathematics helps students master mathematics beyond the curriculum and supports the transition from primary to secondary mathematics. Beginning at Year 5, the clear instruction and logical topic sequence ensures that students are given the ideal preparation for secondary mathematics and are set up for success in senior courses. Students are provided with enhanced learning opportunities with fully integrated digital support in the Interactive Textbook.

Features

• Explicitly meets the requirements of both the Victorian Curriculum 2.0 and the Australian Curriculum v9.0, with additional support mapping the material to the NSW Syllabus and WA Curriculum.
• New curriculum topics include the volume of prisms in Year 7, time zones in Year 8, data sampling methods in Year 9, and logarithmic scales, networks and combinatorics in Year 10.
• Carefully graded exercises and logical topic development caters to a wide range of student abilities and builds students’ understanding step by step.
• The new Incorporating algorithmic thinking feature builds intuitive problem-solving skills with flowcharts, function machines and Scratch programming in Years 5 and 6, and Python programming and algorithm design in Years 7–10.
• New First Nations investigations across Years 5-10 are both curriculum-aligned and thoughtfully developed by two respected voices in Australia’s First Nations mathematics education.
• New digital tools to help students consolidate their learning include a fully worked solution for every graded exercise question in Years 7-10 (if enabled by the teacher) and a short video demonstration for every worked example across Years 5-10.
• In Years 7-10, extension topics build on the required curriculum content to provide a robust understanding of mathematics and provide excellent preparation for senior secondary courses.
