Solving equations using recursive/iteration formulas (numerical methods)

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that models graphically and numerically how the a recursive definition converges towards a root. Change the functions and starting value and generate the sequence with a ‘new iteration’. Show/hide the sequence table and zoom in and out to inspect how the sequence converges. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in a web browser.
Graphing inequalities in two variables

Graphing inequalities in two variables

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that enables the user to graph any number of user defined inequalities on the same set of axes. Add an inequality using the controls and drag the points to the desired co-ordinates to create the boundary line then click up/down to shade the desired inequality. Once all inequalities are added use the show overlap button to real the correct region satisfying all inequalities. Auto zoom and fitting for easy class use and to model a clear solution. Some pre-defined questions are included if you want to use them to model with. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in a web browser.
Angles in circles (circle theorems)

Angles in circles (circle theorems)

(0)
A fully interactive geogebra presentation. Generates examples of all circle theorems that can be manipulated dynamically to reinforce that the relationships are always maintained despite how each theorem can appear visually. Modeling of all proofs are also included and differentiated questions can be generated for whole class participation or to create a worksheet of your own. See the attached images for examples and how the controls work. This is an interactive geogebra applet but, if you don’t have geogebra installed (free), I have also included the web link so that you can use this applet in any web browser. I have also included some worksheets I made.
Drawing Venn diagrams (populating with elements)

Drawing Venn diagrams (populating with elements)

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling of drawing Venn diagrams from set notation (as seen in Edexcel 1MA1). Use buttons to generate a new question and click on each set to show the shading on the Venn diagram. Start when the most colours overlap and work back from there. A differentiated worksheet also included. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
Equation of a tangent to a circle

Equation of a tangent to a circle

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling calculating the equation of a tangent to a circle. Use the slider to set the centre (differentiated with (0,0) or non (0,0) centres) and generate an example using the button. Please note, GCSE only ever need to consider (0,0) centres but this could be used for A level teaching too with none (0,0) centres. Show the working by clicking on the button and then click each line of working to reveal the next line. A differentiate worksheet is also attched. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.

Drawing and interpreting pie charts

(0)
An interactive geogebra applet that aids modeling drawing and interpreting pie charts. Click the black buttons to select either drawing or interpreting and genreate a problme by clicking ‘new’. Click on the table to reveal the angles and then click ‘show protractor’ to model using the protractor to mark the angles (the prompts will help you use this). Once the last angle has been draw, it will automatically label the pie chart. A differentiate worksheet is also attched. The geogebra applet is attached but if you don’t have it installed then the web link is also attached so you can use the applet in any web browser.
