think! Mathematics workbooks are specially

designed to complement the textbooks as you
acquire mathematical concepts and skills.

Key features
• Questions that connect ideas within mathematics
and between mathematics and the sciences
through applications of mathematics are included
to allow you to better appreciate mathematics.
~ Challenging questions require you to apply
thinking, reasoning and metacognitive skills.
~ Open-ended questions reinforce
comprehension and encourage reflection
through the con5truction and analysis of
possible answers.
• A Mid-year Checkpoint or an End-of-year
Checkpoint consolid 9 tes the concepts covered
in the textbook, and is useful for assessing your
learning and identifying areas that require
further practice.
