Trapezium rule worksheet to introduce and practise using it (new A level)

This worksheet makes it easy to introduce and teach the trapezium rule to your classes. The first page has diagrams to illustrate the method and the derivation of the formula is broken down into steps for you to work through with your class. Projecting all this is so much easier than drawing it out by hand.

The trapezium rule formula is then stated at the top of page 2, followed by 3 pages of examples of examination-style questions that test the use of the formula and your students’ understanding (is the answer from the trapezium rule an underestimate or overestimate, can they use their answer to deduce an estimate for a related integral, etc).

Answers to all the examples are provided.

Here is an example of one of my A level resources that is freely available:
