Forming quadratic equations from probability trees (as seen in Edexcel GCSE 1MA1)

(1)
Fully interactive question generator and solver. Use this to model how to set up and solve worded quadratic equations in the context of a probability tree. Randomly generate questions or specify with/without replacement and same/different colours (see image. Model the solutions line by line by using the controls to reveal each step. This is an interactive geogebra applet but if you don’t have geogebra installed (free) i have also included the web link so that you can use this applet in a web browser.

Dicovering Pythagoras

(1)
An interactive geogebra applet that allows the teacher (or students on ipads/in computer room if uploaded onto geogebra website) to create right angle triangles using a set number of standard squares. Students can record their trials and try to spot any relationships between the size of the squares that work. An accompanying worksheet and lesson plan to match. You need geogebra installed (free) or use the web applet that does not require geogebra to be installed.
