A brilliant Tarsia activity by Gill Hillitt on first stage variables separation for differentiation. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning.

This looks very good with a good variety of questions including some with dx/dy (although this is not usually required for AQA). The only thing you might want to watch out for is that, as the previous review hints, it could fill a whole lesson with the amount of problems to solve. Tarsia does also give the option of a simplified version that could be used as a starter or plenary activity if desired.
Another brilliant tarsia for use at Core 4 when studying separation of variables in differential equations. This is a crucial step which is important for students to understand and this activity will really consolidate the process, I would use this as a main activity, it could easily be differentiated if you have a variety of abilities. Thank you for sharing.
