Cambridge HSC General Mathematics / HOTmaths


Integrated program
1 Aims of the program and suggestions for use
Cambridge HOTmaths teacher and student subscriptions are available to bundle with the
Cambridge General Mathematics textbook series for NSW Stage 6 Preliminary and HSC
courses. This program integrates the content of the two resources, linking HOTmaths
lessons to the textbook sections. 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 students 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.
The status of HOTmaths as of February 2011 is that it is mainly an early and middle
secondary resource, so its principal use in relation to Year 11/12 General Maths is to
revisit and revise work from earlier terms or years where requisite prior knowledge is
lacking. Lessons written for Year 11 and 12 General Maths courses will be added to
HOTmaths from late 2011, so it will steadily become a resource to support the General
Maths course across the board, not just to revise prior knowledge.
Examples of activities which can be done Suggestions of types of activities to do
with student accounts on individual in class (which can be accomplished
computers at home or in class: with a teacher account):
Revise prior knowledge. Display an interactive WIDGET in

links provided to see mathematical work (including previous years)
terms in use. while the rest of the class tackles
other work.
Notes: The HOTmaths lessons contain other resources that teachers may prefer to use instead of or
in addition to those listed in this program. The lessons accessed via the HOTmaths/Cambridge
General Maths menu are selected from HOTmaths lesson database. The last column in the program
shows the names that the lessons have in HOTmaths standard menu.

2 How to use the integrated program


From Term 1 2011, the HOTmaths menus will allow you to select Cambridge HSC General or
Cambridge Preliminary General maths. You will then be offered a menu based on the structure of
the textbook.

1 In the textbook, note the HOTmaths


icon indicating there is linked content
for the topic, and the number under
the icon which refers to the
HOTmaths lesson number, not the
textbook section number. These icons
are a guide only. They will become out
of date in printed copies as content is
added to Hotmaths. For up-to-date
links, consult online (PDF) versions of
the text and updates to this document
on Cambridge GO

2 Log on to HOTmaths and choose


Cambridge HSC General Maths
and the chapter (topic).

3 Choose the HOTmaths lesson number


indicated by the icon.

4 The matching HOTmaths lesson will open under the textbook headings:

Notes
1 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
Cambridge General Maths program these are the same as HOTmaths native lessons, as
shown in columns 4 & 5 of the tables. Having been written independently of the textbooks,
the lessons may include some lower level material or material not required by the General
Maths course. Teachers should check the lessons and direct students on which resources
to use.
2 HOTmaths questions and tests The questions and tests are based on the complete
HOTmaths lesson. Teachers are advised to check their scope and levels before use.
3 Frequent updates HOTmaths is a dynamic resource that is continually updated, and from
late 2011 coverage of the Year 11 and 12 General Maths will be strengthened, and this will
be reflected in updated versions of this program.

The following table summarises the location of linked HOTmaths content in the textbook, the
Cambridge HSC General Mathematics name of the lesson to use in the HOTmaths menu, and the name of the HOTmaths topic and
HOTmaths integrated program summary lesson from which the lesson is drawn (right hand side).
A version that can be given to students with notes follows at the end.
