I don't use any Math textbook, as I don't do Maths.

In Yr 10 I used "Signpost Maths 10 - Stage 5.3"...and on the eve of my Yr 10 S.C. Maths exam, I BURNT IT>what a useless piece of sh*t.

We used Maths Zone. It was actually pretty good, despite the cheesy-ass name.

yeah, we use the new century textbook. (5.2/5.3)

It isnt too bad I suppose, but, as said before, it does have some mistakes in the back.

Its better when you have a good teacher though who expands on what is in the textbook and knows what's important for the school certificate and skips over the unnessecary stuff :)

You know those old, tatty Blue Advanced Maths Signpost books that hold borrowing signature such as 'Mr. so and so sucks hairy butt' etc. Yeah. We have those.


And they make us use covers for the old, crap-tacular things.
Epik.
