Vertical Circular Motion questions on conditions for particle to complete full circles. Brief solutions only.

Jigsaw using Poisson Cumulative Probability tables

The activity consists of 12 probability statements. Students decide whether the statements are always true, sometimes true or never true. The main point of the activity is to prompt discussion, deepen understanding and address misconceptions.

A matching activity for practice converting between the different forms of a vector in 2 dimensions (column vector, i,j components, magnitude and direction)

This is a discussion based activity. Students decide whether the binomial distribution is an appropriate model for 12 different situations. It comes with solutions and discussion points.

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.

Brief solutions only

Using series expansions to find limits

Using quadratic theory to find stationary points of curves

A matching activity in which students compare the two different forms on the definition of a sequence, deductive (nth term formula) and inductive (recurrence/recursive formula)

This is a set of “always true, sometimes true, never true” discussion cards to deepen understanding of moments. They are based on a resource from the excellent STEM learning site but adapted.

Example and Exercise with brief solutions

Hexagonal jigsaw on equivalence between percentages and fractions (3 sheets needed)

A jigsaw puzzle for general solutions of trig equations working in degrees

This is a worksheet for students in the first year of A level Maths, to develop fluency in moving between different algebraic forms, and to relate algebraic and graphical representations

Notes, activity and solutions for y=f(ax+b)

This is designed as a Year 12 (or Year 11) revision or consolidation activity, looking at all the different ways that we can find the turning point of a quadratic

A step-by-step worksheet to go through the process of diagonalising using eigenvectors

This is a matching activity designed to bring out the general points about how the features of reciprocal curves correspond to those of the original curve. I would use it either in the context of lessons on curve-sketching or as an introduction to sketching the reciprocal trig curves

Five methods for solving a trig equation graphically; which are correct and why?
