This is a discussion based activity. Students decide whether the binomial distribution is an appropriate model for 12 different situations. It comes with solutions and discussion points.
A matching activity that matches up hypotheses/significance levels, critical regions, graphs of critical regions, and the probabilities associated with the critical regions.
The activity consists of 12 probability statements. Students decide whether the statements are always true, sometimes true or never true. The main point of the activity is to prompt discussion, deepen understanding and address misconceptions.
This activity looks at binomial expansions from both an algebraic and a graphical perspective.
The aim of this activity is to practise a lot of the skills involved in the topic of binomial expansions, where n is not a natural number, in what is perhaps a more interesting context than the standard binomial questions.
A matching activity for practice converting between the different forms of a vector in 2 dimensions (column vector, i,j components, magnitude and direction)
A matching activity in which students compare the two different forms on the definition of a sequence, deductive (nth term formula) and inductive (recurrence/recursive formula)
This is a set of “always true, sometimes true, never true” discussion cards to deepen understanding of moments. They are based on a resource from the excellent STEM learning site but adapted.
This is designed as a Year 12 (or Year 11) revision or consolidation activity, looking at all the different ways that we can find the turning point of a quadratic
This is a set of pictorial problems to accompany the teaching of the natural number series. The three different versions are the same but formatted differently.
This is a short investigation using graphing software to investigate how the gradient of exponential graphs y=a^x, a>1 changes with y. By establishing direct proportionality it then allows for e to be introduced as the value for which the constant of proportionality is 1.
1 hour revision lesson including the following:
Mathematical content - Differentiation (in particular, stationary points), integration, straight lines, curve sketching, hidden quadratics, surds, repeated roots,…
Also - Problem-solving, using graphing software, conjecturing and generalisation, almost certainly a bit of proof…
