MEI - e, ln and Functions - Autograph

(0)
MEI has kindly shared the following resources to support the use of ICT in A/AS Level maths. These are practical activities that look at how we can use Autograph to enhance the study of e, ln and functions, predominantly at A2 level. These are ideal for use in a computer room or for students to investigate at home. The pdf file contains full instructions and challenges, and the attached Autograph and Excel files can be used to demonstrate and consolidate understanding back in the classroom.

Something in Common 18: Polygon in Annulus
MrBartonMathsMrBartonMaths

Something in Common 18: Polygon in Annulus

(1)
Earliest recommended Year group: Year 10. Pupils need to work out the area of a couple of rings with different dimensions - but the same area. This is from the “Something in Common” collection of resources by John Burke. They allow consolidation of key skills, prevent students from copying each other (as all the questions are different), make marking and assessing easy for the teacher (as all the answers are the same!), and provide a lovely extra challenge for students as they try to figure out exactly what is going on! To access the full collection, and read John’s background notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/common.htm

Have a play around with this task, and please share any questions, extensions, simplifications, modifications, or lines of inquiry in the comment box below. The idea is to collect loads of suggestions that can then be used for effective differentiation. The full set of these tasks, along with additional notes, can be found here: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/blog/probing-maths-questions-index-page/

MrBartonMathsMrBartonMaths

Something in Common 13: A Geometric Progression Problem

(1)
Earliest recommended Year group: Year 12. From clues given about a geometric progression work out the possible solutions - all common ratios are the same and first terms are five times each other. This is from the “Something in Common” collection of resources by John Burke. They allow consolidation of key skills, prevent students from copying each other (as all the questions are different), make marking and assessing easy for the teacher (as all the answers are the same!), and provide a lovely extra challenge for students as they try to figure out exactly what is going on!

Powerpoint notes - Trigonometry - 3. 3D. KS4.

Powerpoint notes - Trigonometry - 3. 3D. KS4.

(5)
A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams. The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!

Venn Diagrams 5 - Averages and Range

Venn Diagrams 5 - Averages and Range

(8)
This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on Averages and Range, including mean, median, mode and range. To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much: 1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running 2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation 3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities 4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy 5) Students can create their own as an extension task I hope you and your students enjoy them.
