Core 1: p1-14 Ch1. ALGEBRA & FUNCTIONS

1.1 Simplifying terms by collecting like terms 1.2 Rules of Indices 1.3 Expanding an expression 1.4 Factorising expressions 1.5 Factorising quadratic expressions 1.6 Rules of Indices for all R 1.7 Surds (p10) 1.8 Rationalising the denominator

Teachers are free to use whatever resources they wish but must adhere to the timings of the SOW. It is suggested that in class use the LiveText CD ROM to go through examples.

Students should learn the squares from 12 to 162; cube numbers from 13 to 63 which will

help them solve fractional indices problems.

Examples:

Fractional Indices: if 81½ is 9 then 25½ is ….?

Simplify a5 a3; m4 m2; (p2)5; (2xy2)3; solve 2n =16; solve 32x-1 = 27

Simplify:

√

Rationalise the denominator;

√ ; ;

√ √ √

√

Expand √√

Factorise and solve : x2 + 8x + 15 = 0; 2x2 + 7x + 6 = 0 ; 4x2 -1 = 0;

And worth at this stage pointing out how to find the roots (or solutions) and the critical

values which can be used to sketch a curve of the fn.

Staff should try to explicitly differentiate homework to meet the needs of all learners.

To know that: The equation of a straight line can be written as y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the intercept with the vertical axis. Lines are parallel if they have the same gradient.

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their gradients is -1.

If the gradient of a line is m, then the gradient of a perpendicular line is 1

HOMEWORK

A variety of tasks can be set ranging from short Q&A to extended pieces of investigation work. When you set homework – you MUST mark it and record it. You should also ask students to make

summary notes of each chapter as independent study. Fronter has been loaded with a wealth of homework practice which students should be directed to by you.

Students are expected to spend as much time outside lessons as in them i.e. about 5 hours on maths outside lessons each week. Most of this time will be spent on homework set by the teacher.

= I am confident with what I am doing (able) – set Mixed exercise/Review exam style questions

= I am ok with this – but could do with a little more practice (so-so) – set questions from normal exercises focussing on end of exercise questions

= I am struggling with this topic/subject (weak) – set usual exercises for extra practice (Ex 1A, 1B etc.)

FMSP REVISION COURSES

Payment to be collected before the publication of revision dates. Places to be allocated on a first come first served basis. Deposits to be collected by front office and must NOT be handled by

the Maths department.

G&T PROVISION

Pure ‘Investigations’ and Pure ‘what if & why’ problems available for the most able from The Centre for Teaching Maths (Plymouth University) covering C1-C4

RULES FOR CLOSING THE GAP:

Know your students; Plan effectively; Enthuse & Inspire; Engage & Guide; Feedback appropriately & Evaluate together.

ASSESSMENT:

What about short tests in class?

Teachers should simply get students to do questions straight from the book to avoid printing costs – maybe do a couple of carefully chosen questions each month to assess student retention of

prior learning – or maybe flash a select few questions on the IWB

Alternatively, the Integral website from FMSP has lots of ‘End of chapter’ assessments – speak to Mr Mani about these
