A series of examples and full solutions on the following topics
- Volume of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and triangular prisms)
- Surface Area of a Prism (cuboids, cylinders and other prisms)
Nine provocative questions to get pupils thinking about infinity.
Each one has footnotes on the Powerpoint to guide towards the answer.
What are Zeno’s paradoxes?
Is 0.9999999999999999999… the same as 1?
What is the smallest decimal number more than 3?
What is infinity plus one?
What is Hilbert’s Hotel?
If something is true for the first million numbers, is it true for all the numbers?
What is 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 + 1 – 1 … equal to?
Are some infinities bigger than others?
Are there more: numbers, fractions, or decimals?
Six classic maths problems from the 1150 AD book called Lilivati, each presented as a poem and with a short story to introduce the book.
All of the problems involve forming and solving equations, and they also practice:
- simultaneous equations
- adding and multiplying fractions
- square roots
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
This is an investigation into the different uses of stones and pounds (UK), pounds (USA) and kilograms (Europe) for weighing people. By the end pupils should be able to convert between the units effectively.
Skills used:
- Mental arithmetic
- Converting between units
- Rounding (the conversion numbers are approximate only)
Full solutions provided on the Power Points.
Now includes some extra revision, (to be used a month after initial lessons) and a picture of 'The Kilogram' (housed in a secret bunker somewhere near Paris).
This is an investigation for pupils to discover that the more sides you have on a polygon, the closer the area comes to that of a circle. In fact, using polygons was how people once estimated pi.
Skills used
- trigonometry
- area
- algebra
- Pythagoras
Full solutions included.
This is a series of tricky challenges to complement usual class work, using a full range of maths skills:
- trigonometry
- simultaneous equations
- algebra
- fractions
- area
- logic
Can be used as extensions or homework.
Full solutions included.
