exam

Hope the exam went well for everybody, see you on wednesday in maths!

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

Mymaths lists

Here's a list of useful topics on mymaths

Mymaths

Hope its useful! Let me know if you have any questions.

Revision topics...

Hi all,

You should receive a revision list during tomorrow's lesson that lists all the topics you need to revise for the exam in June.

Have a look through it & if there's anything you're not sure about - leave a comment & I can try and help!

See you tomorrow for some more number work!

Homework......

Homework over the weekend on mymaths on recognising graphs and then transforming graphs.

You could also work through the lesson again to make sure that you really understand what happens.....

Good luck!

revision

Hi all,

Can you bring in the revision sheets for tomorrow's lesson please? And your attempts at the questions.

Can you also make sure you have a scientific calculator, ruler & pencil.

See you tomorrow

linear programming (q2)

Hi all,

I've had quite a few questions about the linear programming (q2) on the sheet.

Have a look at the mymaths lesson
Linear Programming

which might help.

Think about c = number of coaches, m = number of minibuses.

What is the maximum c could be? What is the maximum m could be?

How many seats would there be altogether?
Think about how to write it in words and then put it into algebra...

Number of coaches x 54 + number of minibuses x 24
and this must cover all the supporters & staff who want to go (407+25?)

Easter homework

Hope you're all having fun completing the questions!

Here are my answers to the first side of the homework sheet if you want to check your answers - remember we're interested in how you've got to the answers.... not just that you've got the right answer!

Answer sheet

Leave a comment if you need help with any of the questions or want to know how I got my answers...

easter....

Just wanted to say how brilliantly you're all doing with this work - keep persevering with it, keep practising and it will start getting easier!

I'm really pleased with the work you've done this year so far, so have a go at the questions over Easter, let me know if there's any problems & i'll try and help!

Good luck!

Maths Mock

There are some worked solutions for the Applications and the Methods mock papers.

The Applications paper answers


Careful with the answers to the ages question & the sweets question - the answers will seem wrong - but its a problem in the question.

Let me know if there are any problems - have a good half term
