A booklet summarising Edexcel Decision 1. Includes all 7 modules (algorithms, graphs & networks, algorithms on networks, route inspection, critical path analysis, linear programming and matchings). Following the same layout as the textbook, it’s perfect for those who are visual learners or don’t like working from thick textbooks. It includes worked-through examples and key points for every module. Perfect for students learning at A-Level looking for a booklet to help summarise all of Decision 1. Also really good for exam revision and trying to re-jog memories without the overwhelming feeling of going through a full textbook.

This is a powerpoint covering all areas of Decision 1 (I realise they are only putting it in further maths from 2017). It contains brief notes by way of an explanation, model answers to questions and a question or two for the students to do; all of the questions come with answers that you can display when ready. The slide show comes with a progress grid (regularly referred to in the presentation) so that students can mark their progress from start to finish and pinpoint any areas that may need extra work with a “red/amber/green” system that they fill in. It’s what I use in my lessons before setting tasks from worksheets or text books to practice.

Workshop 5 - Cooking Bolognese (Critical Path Analysis) Have you got time to cook, wash up and eat before meeting your friends at the cinema? What time do you need to start cooking and how long will each step take? This workshop uses critical path analysis to solve problems. Curriculum areas covered: GCSE: apply the four operations to integers use standard units of time, using decimal quantities where appropriate A Level: Interpret and communicate solutions in the context of the original problem. Understand, interpret and extract information from diagrams and construct mathematical diagrams to solve problems, including in mechanics. A Level: Decision/Discrete maths Completion of the precedence table for a given activity network. Construct, represent and interpret a precedence (activity) network. Use critical path analysis and be able to interpret outcomes, including implications for criticality. Determine earliest and latest start and finish times for an activity network. Identify critical activities, critical paths and the float of non-critical activities. This pack includes:  Cover Sheet  Student Worksheet  Presentation  Teacher Notes  Diagram cards The OR technique featured in this workshop is critical path analysis. Critical path analysis is a popular project management tool, it shows the shortest time needed to complete a project and factors in which tasks are dependent on others.

This is a PowerPoint presentation which uses animation, simple layouts, graphics and diagrams to clearly explain all topics required for a full understanding of Decision Maths Year 1, Critical path analysis. This is completely in-line with the Edexcel A-level Further Maths specification. teachingisgood is happy to declare that this presentation also includes loads of practice questions, which build up a key understanding and build exam skills, as well as exam-style questions which push problem solving skills with questions aimed at the highest achieving students. This presentation is part of a series of presentations for A-level Further Maths, some of which also include interactive quizzes, videos and fun ways to test students and develop knowledge. The topics covered in this presentation is as follows. Modelling a project Dummy activities Early and late event times Critical activities The float of an activity Gantt charts Resource histograms Scheduling diagrams

A powerpoint talkng through how to draw an activity network, then find the early and late times and the critical path.

Worksheet 5 - Save Earth (Critical Path Analysis) A critical path analysis based around scheduling a rocket launch to prevent a meteor strike. Ideal for use as an introductory task/homework, this worksheet is a fun example of critical path analysis. Curriculum areas covered: • A Level o Interpret and communicate solutions in the context of the original problem. o Understand, interpret and extract information from diagrams and construct mathematical diagrams to solve problems, including in mechanics. • A Level: Decision/Discrete maths o Completion of the precedence table for a given activity network. o Construct, represent and interpret a precedence (activity) network. o Use critical path analysis and be able to interpret outcomes, including implications for criticality. o Determine earliest and latest start and finish times for an activity network. o Identify critical activities, critical paths and the float of non-critical activities. o Refine models and understand the implications of possible changes in the context of critical path analysis. This pack includes:  Cover Sheet  Student worksheet  Answer Sheet Critical path analysis is a technique frequently used in Operational Research (OR).

The use of quizzes is a popular method to assess a child’s Math intelligence abilities. These quizzes are designed to gauge their understanding and application of mathematical concepts, problem-solving skills, and logical reasoning. They typically consist of a series of questions that cover different mathematical topics, ranging from basic arithmetic operations to more complex mathematical reasoning. These quizzes are often structured in a way that challenges children to think critically, analyze problems, and come up with mathematical solutions. . They provide an opportunity to identify areas that may require further attention or enrichment. This product has 25 PDF pages with a size of 8.5 x 8.5 inches.
