Comprehensive 27-page booklet containing notes and examples designed to cover all the course content of the AQA Further Maths Level 2 syllabus. This qualification is an effective bridge between GCSE and A-level, and as such much of the content overlaps with both A/A* GCSE and AS Mathematics content. An ideal companion to those studying this course, similar Additional Maths courses, or just wanting to become familiar with some of the more advanced mathematics they will encounter in more detail when they begin A-level Maths.

Download includes: Construction basics (measuring and drawing lines and angles, with true size images of rulers and protractors) Circle construction (step-by-step instructions for making a Reuleaux triangle and other circle patterns) Construction Instructions: Detailed, true size instructions with accurate diagrams for the common mathematical constructions: ASA triangle (angle-side-angle) SAS triangle (side-angle-side) SSS triangle (side-side-side) Perpendicular bisector Angle bisector Cheat sheets (summary of the method for common constructions, from lines and angles to circles and sectors, triangles and bisectors) Construction practice (opportunity for students to demonstrate each of the key skills) Checklist (for a teacher to sign off as students demonstrate mastery of each construction)

Teachers rely upon a unique blend of creativity and organisation. From data analysis and planning to custom-built learning tools and games, spreadsheets can enrich your teaching practice both in and out of the classroom. I've been playing with Excel for well over 10 years, and gradually picked up more and more as I adapted my use for the classroom. Many teachers recognise the potential that Excel has, but can't quite find the time to sit and play around with it. This booklet aims to distil some of the more valuable teacher-specific know-how I've gleaned over the years, and hopefully will enable you to pick up a few tricks and techniques that will save you time and add an extra dimension to your teaching practice. I'm a UK secondary maths teacher, which may come across in the examples I use. It is my hope that much of this booklet will be accessible and valuable to any teacher looking to go beyond the basics of Excel, but my particular slant will probably be most applicable to the sciences. See my website for over 100 of my own spreadsheets, and a taster of this booklet's content: http://www.thechalkface.net/spreadsheetsforteachers

Five different worksheets combined, with clear diagrams and full solutions: Intro: An introduction to loci, identifying a circle as the locus of points a fixed distance from a point then considering shaded regions in overlapping circles. Floodlit: Four overlapping circles, identifying regions lit up by 1, 2, 3 or 4 lights. Equidistance: By identifying points halfway up or along a square, then halfway between points, developing the concept of equidistance. Hidden Circles: Using perpendicular bisectors on a grid with vertical and horizontal lines to develop the method of finding the centre of a circle from three points on its circumference. Second page reminds students of the general construction method for a perpendicular bisector (with diagrams) and gives a question with three points (no grid, not vertically or horizontally aligned). Signal Tower: More involved than just 'less than 3m from A', but using the same ideas - students have to identify regions within which one, two or all three signal towers might detect a mobile phone.

Designed specifically for the Mechanics 2 syllabus, but equally valid and useful for studying energy in A-level Physics, the booklet explains the key concepts that are so crucial and so often misunderstood: Force, Energy, Power Conservation of energy Energy transfer examples Common types of energy How much energy? (compare fuels, food and drink, lightning, AA batteries, etc...) Work done by a constant force (not necessarily acting in the direction of motion) Gravitational Potential Energy Kinetic Energy Work done by variable forces (using integration) Elastic Potential Energy
