The teaching guide is broken into units of work. Each unit if laid out in the same format for ease of use and is directly linked to 3-5 pages of the student book. The sequence of units provides a guide to the order of presentation. This follows the same order as suggested in the year and term planners. However, this is flexible and teachers can choose their own progression through the course.

The teaching resources include:

• syllabus outcomes, skills and indicators clearly stated for each unit
• teach and discuss section introduces each topic with a class discussion
• teaching notes for the other pages in the unit
• oral and mental activities - mental strategies give students a sound base for their problem solving
• activity bank of extra hands on and group activities
• list of easily located resources needed for the unit
• two photocopiable activity cards for individual, pairs or group work - especially useful for extension or fast-finishers
• an assessment blackline master at the end of each unit
