Two Powerpoint presentations on the use of vectors in M1

One Powerpoint presentation on Work and Energy, and one on Power

An introductory activity for AS students or an activity for GCSE students, looking at the different ways that gradient can be expressed, using the context of real roads

3 versions of dominoes (1 is easiest, 3 is hardest)

Hexagonal jigsaw on matching a numbers written as digits with numbers written as words (all three sheets needed)

Hexagonal puzzle on Binomial Distribution (needs all three sheets)

For the mean of a normal distribution with known variance. Answers given to 2 decimal places.

Two linear factors in denominator only. Be alert to students 'cheating' at this puzzle by simply matching the brackets in the denominator with those in the solutions. (One strategy I've used is to change one number in one solution so there is a deliberate mistake, and say that the students have to find this as well as complete the puzzle. But simply insisting they write down their working out works as well!)

Integration and Differentiation applications

Improper integrals

Simple jigsaw puzzle calculating area and circumference of circle from radius or diameter. All answers to 3 s.f.

Addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices

Taken together, these three give a first lesson on eigenvectors and eigenvalues (not diagonalising)

Hexagonal jigsaw for degrees and radiand conversions. The three pages make up one hexagonal puzzle.

One Powerpoint presentation on elastic springs and strings, and another on elastic potential energy

Example and Exercise with brief solutions

With brief solutions

Simple jigsaw puzzle to introduce the idea of representation by mathematical symbols

Jigsaw Puzzle solving two linear simultaneous equations (all integer solutions but including some negative solutions)

This activity looks at binomial expansions from both an algebraic and a graphical perspective. The aim of this activity is to practise a lot of the skills involved in the topic of binomial expansions, where n is not a natural number, in what is perhaps a more interesting context than the standard binomial questions.
