Promote independent thinking and problem solving strategies with this resource on finding the gradient of tangents to a circle. Pupils must use their mathematical knowledge along with the clues provided to solve the 'mystery'.
This is a topic which is new to the GCSE for 2017. Pupils will have to work out the gradient of the radius using the centre of the circle and a point on the circumference. They will then use this to calculate the gradient of the tangent at that point. Pupils will have to work with coordinates, negative numbers and surds.
Full instructions, ideas for support and extension, and a solution are provided in the resource - what more could you need?
