The homework book complements the Maths Quest 10 for the Australian Curriculum textbook with a variety of activities including homework sheets, rich tasks and fun code puzzles. It provides students, parents and teachers with an opportunity to construct a homework program that will help students to develop their mathematical skills.Fifteen chapters contain five worksheets: two homework sheets, one rich task and two code puzzles. Chapter 11 contains hints to tackle five randomly selected problems and chapter 17 contains hints to tackle six randomly selected problems from the problem-solving chapters in the textbook.
