Hey thanks! Hope it helps 🙂 Trigonometry is coming up next 👍
I've just discovered @mathematico_org and although only in its infancy, it's absolutely superb! I'm telling both my Yr13 classes about this tomorrow. Check it out - all A-Level maths resources, tutorials and practice. mathematico.org/learn/
Every year, I find a couple of students want to integrate cos(x^2), say, and give sin(x^2)/(2x). Here's a tonic!
I love how the "only if" part comes together! (And it's good for practising Newton's notation.)

Surprised that this is answerable.
Check your answers is correct here: mathematico.org/problem/aFfX…

Been an age since my last post but I had to share this - gave it as an extension after geometric series and the class really got into it. (It's one half of the Euclid-Euler theorem, which I just learned about and it blew my tiny little mind.)

We’re pleased to announce that our short self-study course for A level Mathematics students, 'Introduction to Data Science', is now freely available on our website!

Parametric differentiation. If you're a bit wary of 'cancelling dt', there's a nice connection to first principles that justifies it. Find the gradient between the given points and let h --> 0.

Invented some problems to discover generalisations for the solutions of trig equations. More than half my students sent me a very polite message on Teams: "Sir, I think there's a typo in Problem 5"
Nope! Remember your arithmetic sequences you can do it 😅 (theta is in degrees)
Here's a useful exercise -- Get students thinking about key features of sin and cos functions, composition of functions, and exponential functions. No differentiation required!
A simple problem, but valuable for learning about transformation of curves as students need to work backwards and then forwards (or do it in one step!) bit.ly/2XIIjta
Great question linking topics from @mrsouthernmaths - cubics and circles and areas!
*NEW RESOURCE*
A question involving calculus and circles. I would be interested in what people think of this one.

When teaching online, by far my most loved keyboard shortcut is
Windows Key + Shift + S
It opens up the snipping tool overlay. Drag over part of your screen and it is on your clipboard. Now Ctrl + v to paste it wherever you want. And you can paste straight into Teams chat :D

There are still some videos left to record, but there's loads of great trigonometry content now available here mathematico.org/learn/pure/t…
Students can use it independently, or you can add them to your class and follow their progress in real time✍️

New work Twitter! Please follow if only so I remember to follow all the right people 😂
Hello maths teachers! Here's a post sharing a few ways writing code can help inspire, create, and save time in the classroom. We'll be using the incredible @sagemath - no experience required: mathematico.org/blog/201216-…
Thanks for the feature @ColleenYoung, hope Mathematico can help teachers with remote learning at the moment 👍
