Revision

Good luck with all your revision over the weekend - let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Remember you've all got my email address, or leave comments on the blog and I'll help.

You've got all the past papers for the modules with answers so use them! Work your way through the checklist and check on mymaths if you're not sure.

From today's lesson, all you need is that the trig functions/graphs can be found using the unit circle,  remember that x = r cos a   and y = r sin a,   where x,y are the co-ordinates, r is the radius, and a is the angle. Draw out the circles to help.

Good luck with the revision, and I'll see you all on Monday morning - remember those calculators!

Revision....

Can you bring in the exam paper to continue in tomorrow's lesson?

Let me know if there's any topics in particular that you'd like to look at.

So far I've had suggestions of
Histograms, Moving Averages, Simultaneous Equations & Transforming Graphs.

Anything else?

Solving Quadratics

One quick way of solving quadratics could be to use factorising

Work through this mymaths link and check that you understand what goes on

Solving Quadratics by Factorising

The formula will always work, but this way might be easier to use if the quadratic will factorise...

Again, let me know if you need any help
