CambridgeMATHS

NSW Syllabus for the Australian Curriculum

Year 8 HOTmaths integrated program
An integrated program with HOTmaths is available for
CambridgeMATHS NSW Syllabus users, via the
'CambridgeMATHS NSW' entry in the HOTmaths menu.
This brings up a selection of HOTmaths lessons linked to the
textbook contents.

The integrated program is available as an optional bundle with print

and/or digital versions of the textbook, and provides full access to
all features of HOTmaths including:
 interactive lessons, simulations (‘widgets’), games and
examples (‘walkthroughs’)
 lesson questions, topic quizzes, review tests and worksheets
(HOTsheets)
 drill and practice exercises (Scorcher)
 an illustrated dictionary / dynamic index
 a comprehensive learning management system that allows
teachers to set tasks, track and report on class and individual
results, and allows students to monitor their own progress.
In addition, CambridgeMATHS textbook sections are available
within HOTmaths to users of the textbook, putting all available
resources at your students’ fingertips.

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 a
complete list of HOTmaths resources associated
with CambridgeMATHS.
A column for teachers to insert their own notes is
provided in the tables following, and it may already contain some notes from the
HOTmaths team.

2 About the HOTmaths lessons

Having been written independently of the textbooks, the HOTmaths lessons may
include some higher or lower level material.

3 Overlap between years

HOTmaths is structured in two-year stages, whereas CambridgeMATHS is structured
on single years, so some HOTmaths lessons are used with both Year 7 and 8 or Year 9
and 10 of CambridgeMATHS. These lessons will be marked as REVIEW lessons when
they are repeated in the subsequent year’s program. Teachers should decide which
resources of the HOTmaths less to use in each year.

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 CambridgeMATHS, 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 the time available, but for
the fit of their content with the textbook content. Teachers will still need to select
material to fit the class 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, responding to changes
in curricula or teaching and learning practices. Major changes will be reflected in
updated versions of this program.
