New Discovering Additional Mathematics Textbooks A&B
New Discovering Additional Mathematics is a set of textbooks written with learner-centric approach that builds upon the knowledge and skills learnt in elementary mathematics. It is based on the latest O-Level and N(A)-Level Additional Mathematics Syllabus implemented from 2020 by Ministry of Education of Singapore.
Illustrative examples and diagrams help students understand and apply the mathematical concepts that have been learnt. The examples are also carefully selected to promote discussions on relevant Big Ideas in mathematics and modelling of essential problem-solving strategies.
The contents of the syllabus are organised under three strands:
- Algebra
- Geometry & Trigonometry
- Calculus
Key Features
- Learning Objectives
Provided at the start of each section to inform students about what they will be learning in the section. - Connecting Ideas
Emphasise the links between different mathematical concepts and the Big Ideas of mathematics, mathematics and other disciplines as well as between mathematics and the real world. - Worked Examples
Facilitates students' understanding of concepts and shows how ideas and reasoning can be expressed clearly in mathematical language. - Try it Yourself
Enables students to practise what have been just learnt in Worked Examples. - Practice Exercise
- Basic Mastery : Simple and direct application of a particular concept or skills
- Intermediate: Application of a few concepts and/or combination of skills
- Advanced: Higher-order thinking and the application of several concepts or skills, covered within the chapter or across different topics.
- Let's Sum Up
Consolidates important concepts in the chapter - Flashback + Reflect + Extend Your Learning Curve
- Core Vocabulary
Highlights key terms from the chapter - Getting Started
Provides relevant real-life applications of concepts in the immediate chapter and acts as a trigger that piques students' interest
- Integrated Exercise
Requires students to synthesise concepts learnt across different chapters. - Spotlight
