Key Features: A contextual approach throughouteach chapter begins with questions, problems or situations that experienced teachers have found to spark students' interest.

Many and varied contextualised questions, problems and puzzles, including traditional closed-response questions as well as open-ended and stimulus-response questions all essential for understanding Novel Challenge' questions drawn from unfamiliar situations and designed to develop the higher order thinking (HOT) skills.
