A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams. The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!

A Tarsia activity by Alan Catley. A great way of introducing the Factor Theorem but it took a long time to ensure that this is a unique solution! i.e. (x-1) is only a factor of one of the given functions etc. A wonderful group activity used in conjunction with a paused slow plot of y = 2x³ + x² – 4x – 3 on Autograph (at approx x = -2) where does this graph cut the x-axis? etc. The group will have to share the work out which means they discuss and share each other’s answers but the more they do the easier the puzzle gets. The ‘Start’ is a trivial one deliberately!
