Learning to solve quadratics by factorisation

(0)
<p>This is a slightly informal way of learning to solve quadratics by factorisation.<br /> My class had already learnt to factorise in previous lessons and we followed this up with these activities.<br /> Included are a starter and a main worksheet both WITH ANSWERS.<br /> Designed such that students learn to solve by substitution and do so largely by themselves.<br /> The starter should be followed by a discussion of why the last few substitutions give zero, followed by some board questions which are asked verbally (factorised quadratics equal to zero).</p> <p>Then the main sheet can be started.</p>

Isometric drawing - complete these cuboids

(0)
<p>A simple sheet I made to help my KS3 groups who find isometric drawing difficult. Students need to complete the drawings of some cuboids.</p> <p>I often tell classes that a complete cuboid should have three sets of parallel lines (each with 3 lines) - this helps some students, but can confuse others.</p>

Fixed Point Iteration - Graph the method

(0)
<p>I made this resource to help students to practice drawing ‘staircase’ and ‘cobweb’ diagrams (both converging and diverging) to illustrate the numerical method known as fixed point iteration.</p> <p>I also made an extension which shows a more chaotic behaviour and one where the iterations cycle and therefore neither converge or diverge, however this is beyond the needs of the A Level Course.</p>

Newton Raphson - illustrating the method

(0)
<p>I made a selection of graphs for students to illustrate the Newton Raphson method. There are a few different graphs to illustrate some of the different behaviours of the method.<br /> Students can learn when the method is effective and when it is less so.<br /> Each graph has an initial x value for the students to start with, so that they can be assessed/compared as required.</p>
