Haese Mathematics, formerly Haese & Harris Publications, is a family-owned publishing company specialising in Mathematics textbooks and accompanying software for schools and students. Founded by classroom teachers in South Australia in 1979, our publications have now reached students in over 175 countries.
The business was started by Bob and Sandra Haese, together with Kim Harris, who worked together to produce textbooks for South Australian schools. These first books were typed on a typewriter and completed with hand-drawn diagrams. Modest beginnings, but teachers were quick to recognise the quality of the content in these early, unpretentious publications. This series was updated over time to refine the content and reflect curriculum changes.
To support the teaching of the uniform Australian Curriculum (introduced in 2010), Haese Mathematics released the Mathematics for Australia series, aligned with the requirements. The series now covers Years 1 to 12, with Write-on Workbooks at a Primary level, through to Textbooks and Revision Guides published in conjunction with the Mathematical Association of South Australia for Year 12.
In 2004, Haese Mathematics launched new textbooks for the IB Diploma Mathematics courses and was met with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic response. As a result, in 2008, the series was extended to include the Middle Years Programme. New editions are released as the curriculum frameworks are revised, with popular current edition titles for the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme aligned to the most recent changes. Textbooks for these series are supported by additional resources such as fully Worked Solutions, Assessment Tasks, and Revision Guides. The journey of the IB student is now completed by our Primary Years Programme (PYP) series for students from Year 1 to Year 5. Write-on Workbooks, Teacher Resources, and supportive digital learning materials provide an internationally focused approach to Primary mathematics education.
In 2009, Haese Mathematics was invited to publish for the new international examination ‘Cambridge IGCSE International Mathematics (0607) Extended’. This was followed by a book for the Core course content, then for the Cambridge Additional Mathematics (4037) course. Our current editions continue to be endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education for updated curricula.
Recognising the advantages of both traditional textbooks and digital learning, our printed titles are supported by Snowflake, our online learning platform. Custom-designed to support mathematical education, the platform houses digital formats of our titles supported with interactive features, such as voiced-over Self Tutor Examples, Graphing Package, and more.
The outstanding characteristic of our company is an unrelenting commitment to produce the best possible resources for mathematics education in schools. We are great believers in the value of global education and its importance in producing a more peaceful world. To this end, in 2013 we began sponsoring the Central Asia Institute and its mission to provide schools in areas lacking infrastructure. We work with a number of other international partners to donate any previous edition titles so that they can be repurposed and used in communities in need.
