For use this week in the run up to the Edexcel Statistics 2 Exam I have made a blockbuster game featuring S2 questions.
I’m not sure now who on TES I got the template from, so if you recognise it as yours please say so that I can credit you.
The powerpoint can be downloaded here.
UPDATE: Solutions now available.
Thank you to everyone who voted in the recent #mathsjournalclub poll. The winner with 33% of the vote was the (fairly famous) article “I Would Rather Die’: Attitudes Of 16-Year-Olds Towards Their Future Participation In Mathematics” – Margaret Brown, Peter Brown and Tamara Bibby
We will chat about this on Monday 11th July t 8pm, I really hope you can join us.
As usual, about a week before I will post some points to think about.
So… I’m expecting to be busy with blogging in the next week or so. I will be commenting on and giving my feelings about all the specifications and specimen papers being released for the new A-Level Maths and Further Maths qualifications tomorrow (9th June 2016).
I’m currently enjoying the AQA webinar and I love what I am seeing so far.
I have set up a Dropbox Folder where I will put all specifications and associated resources from all boards as soon as possible so that I (and you) can access them in one place!
I’m excited for tomorrow to come!
It’s my last lesson with my Year 13 Further Maths students this morning before their Edexcel FP2 exam.
One of the things that I am going to do with them is an increased difficulty version of the June 2012 paper. This is a very similar idea to my increased difficulty M1 paper I posted a while ago. Essentially, all that I have done is remove any unnecessary intermediate steps and diagrams.
You can find the paper here.
As promised, here is a chance to vote on the next #mathsjournalclub article. The poll will be open until the 9th June and then we will discuss the chosen article on Monday 11th July at 8pm – this will be the last chat before the summer holiday.
The choices are as follows (thanks to Rob Beckett and Danny Brown for some suggestions):
Anne Watson suggests what can happen as a result of history and a curriculum written in a hurry
I look forward to finding out what article you decide 🙂
Complex loci and transformations in the complex plane are probably my least favourite topics to teach in A-Level Further Maths. It feels very negative to say that, but I don’t think I am alone! I also think it is one of the hardest topics for students to get their heads around in the further maths A-Level.
Last week I posted on Twitter asking if anyone had a complex loci card sort and Hannah (@LorHRL) pointed me into the direction of this one on TES. However being a Mac user it wasn’t easy for me to open the Microsoft Publisher file I decided to make my own using Geogebra.
Download the card sort here to use with your classes.
