Incorrect Mathematical Proofs Posters

(0)
This is a collection of three posters, each containing an incorrect conclusion from a seemingly correct proof. I have used them as good starter activities with classes to get them thinking about how they prove concepts and how to find errors. The proofs included show that 1=2, 3=0 and 1+2+3+4+…=-1/12.
Integrating using different methods - 60 questions

Integrating using different methods - 60 questions

(0)
This sheet simply presents 60 different expressions to be integrated. A variety of different methods must be used, such as integration by parts, trigonometric identities and so on, however the questions do not indicate which method must be used in each case. The bundle includes a sheet of just questions, a sheet of just answers and a document including the questions, answers and worked solutions to each question. I have found this very useful for students at the end of the A Level Maths course to get them to think about the different methods that they must use and what clues to look for in the questions.

Surprising Maths Results Posters

(0)
This file is a collection of posters to be printed out and displayed in your room or around the Maths department. There are 32 posters, each being half an A4 sheet, with examples shown in the cover image photo. The posters cover a wide range of topics with suitable ideas for KS3, 4 and 5. There are numbers at the top of each poster, intended to encourage students to seek out others that they have not seen - we put 5 or so non-sequential posters in each teaching room.

Large Data Set Quiz - Edexcel A Level Maths

(0)
This is a quiz, split into three rounds, on the Large Data Set from Edexcel for the A Level Mathematics course. The 3 rounds are: • Round 1 = Locations. Questions ensure that students know which locations are covered by the large data set and where these locations are found. • Round 2 = Variables. Which variables are given for each of the different locations? • Round 3 = Units and Data Which units are used for each of the variables and some specific questions on some anomalies in the weather or data? The quiz is presented in a variety of formats to allow for different methods of delivery to a class: • Just The Questions Suitable for administering the quiz in a test format. One file has all rounds in it, and there are three separate files for individual rounds. • PowerPoints Two versions of each round have been provided. One where each question is given followed immediately by the answer, and one where all answers are saved until the end of the PowerPoint. • Answer Sheets These can be used alongside the PowerPoints, or if the test is being delivered orally. • Questions And Answers All questions and answers provided together, either on multiple sheets, or all on one sheet.

Nearest Neighbour Upper Bound for Travelling Salesman Problem

(0)
This PowerPoint will guide you through the process of finding an upper bound for the Travelling Salesman Problem using the Nearest Neighbour method. This was created with the Edexcel A Level Further Maths course in mind, but it should be suitable for others too. There is a video of the powerpoint in use at the link below: https://youtu.be/ojjnd5gEMuk

Student Test Tracking spreadsheet - single test

Student Test Tracking spreadsheet - single test

(0)
This spreadsheet will allow you to greater analyse the performance of your students in a test. It will automatically calculate totals, percentages, grades (according to grade boundaries that you specify) etc. It will also colour-code performances on questions against the maximum marks available and provide you with the opportunity to print out individually tailored feedback sheets to your students. I have found that this gives me an excellent method for communicating with students about their relative performance, rather than simply telling them that they have achieved 58% for example. The file will come to you as a password protected document. The reason for this is so that it is not possible to make changes to the formulae and thus make it so that it does not work. You do not need to unprotect it to make full use of it, but just in case you wish to make changes, the password for the file is “table”. I have made a video demonstrating it and telling you how to use it, which can be found at: https://youtu.be/G0_WWFINHqM I also have a larger version available, also on the TES website, for the analysis of up to ten tests, allowing you to compare a student or class throughout those tests.
