Question 1

What is different about your books?

Accepted Answer

The book features:
Warnings to prevent common errors and misconceptions.
Student notes with key insights and alternative approaches.
Alternative solutions provided to many worked examples.
Short summaries for an informal explanation when the theory gets heavy.
Chapter reviews split into an easier set and a harder set.

For teachers:
No more guesswork. Chapters are aligned to the order of the syllabus.
Concise explanations that get straight to the point without the fluff.
Classroom-ready worked examples of exam-style problems.
Each exercise is broken up into:
'Concept check' questions that challenge ideas and inspire discussions in the classroom.
'Essential problems' that highlight the 'need-to-know' questions.
'Additonal practice' problems to develop fluency and to try exam-style problems.
'Enrichment' problems for those who want to deepen their knowledge.

The pages of the book also prioritises a clean design, making it easy to follow and read.

Question 2

Will your book be available as an electronic copy?

Accepted Answer

We are working towards making it available online. Keep visiting our website to stay updated.

Question 3

Can the books be used as primary texts?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. They are intended to be used as primary texts. The books contain theory, worked examples, chapter summaries, chapter reviews, and a lot of questions.

Our Year 11 Mathematics Advanced book contains over 5000 problems in itself.

Question 4

Who is your publisher?

Accepted Answer

We are independently published under Pigeon Publishing. This independence lets us prioritise teaching quality, fair pricing, and quick updates over maximising profit margins.

Question 5

When are the books launching?

Accepted Answer

Year 11 Advanced and Extension 1 are available now.

Year 12 books will be ready in September, 2026.

Question 6

Can I purchase the books at bookstores?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our books are stocked at Five Senses Education.

Question 7

Are there full worked solutions?

Accepted Answer

As of now, no. But, there will be full worked solutions.

We intend to begin working on them upon the completion of the remaining books in September 2026 - we are only a team of two at the moment.

However, for all 'show/prove'-type questions in our books, we have already provided a rough outline of the steps in the back-of-book answers.

Question 8

Are there any extra teacher resources or worksheets available?

Accepted Answer

No. We did not 'save' questions for extra online resources that you'll only get with a subscription etc.

That is why our Year 11 Advanced book has over 5000 problems in itself - we just gave you everything right from the beginning, no fluff.

Question 9

Are you also writing books for Mathematics Standard?

Accepted Answer

We do not currently have plans for that, but we are open to the idea for the future.

Question 10

What is the difficulty of your book?

Accepted Answer

Everything.

We have problems ranging from low band 3/4 difficulty all the way up to high band 6 difficulty. Most of our hardest problems are all staying within the syllabus too.

But most importantly, we have placed particular emphasis on bridging the gap between 'too easy' and 'too hard'. There should be a gentle progression in difficulty to allow students to confidently navigate upwards at their own pace.
