Teacher Read-Aloud Edition • Three Large Parts • Exact Oxford printed pages, exercise numbers, difficulty ratings, Ontario topic matches, and clickable supplementary PDF pages.
Start tonight: Open PART ONE and Oxford printed page 175. The end of Exercise 3H and the start of §3.3 share that page. The source PDF is a chapter extract: Oxford content PDF page = printed page − 145 for pp.146–213. For printed pp.214–217, use the separate Oxford Review PDF with PDF page = printed page − 213.
Use this guide to locate and teach—not to solve. Every Oxford question or example has its own direct PDF link and its own topical Ontario mapping. All supplementary links work after extracting the ZIP with its folders intact. Difficulty labels are instructional estimates based on the earlier lesson map, not official Oxford difficulty labels.

Accuracy and use notes
Oxford printed pages are not the same as chapter-extract PDF viewer pages. All hyperlinks use the real extracted PDF files in the resources folder. ANNA, Save My Exams, and Revision Village references show the source file and literal PDF viewer page, not an invented matching Oxford exercise number.
Oxford/Haese-to-Ontario relationships are topical comparisons, not official one-to-one course equivalencies. Complex roots, general Viète formulas and parameterized three-variable systems can go beyond MCR3U/MHF4U/MCV4U.
Adaptive use for an advanced student: start with one easy/medium diagnostic, move to a difficult or integrated question as soon as the basic work is secure, and allow written explanations in chat or a shared whiteboard if oral explanations are uncomfortable.
