Tues 15th May 2012 – More on 3d Coordinates – B/A and A* revision loops

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Solve a problem using 3D coordinates, Revision use Loop cards

SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to solve the 3d problem and also be able to complete the loop on the topic you are given

STARTER ACTIVITY - Try and solve this puzzle

LESSON: Hand out the Revision loop cards to various people according to the levels.

YOU MUST write down the card number and show your working out and answers, before you move onto the next card and then repeat the same. When you complete the loop you should find the answer to the last card on the first card of the loop.

If you complete a full loop, ask for another topic to revise.

PLEASE KEEP ALL CARDS TOGETHER IN ONE LOOP PACK

PLENARY: Write down your confidence rating (out of 5) at the end of completing each set of loop cards.

Thurs May 10th – Sketching the graph of a quadratic equation

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: To understand how to sketch a quadratic graph

SUCCES CRITERIA: You will be able to find the Intercept, Roots and Minimum point of a quadratic a;lgebraicly and then use these values to plot the curve on a pair of axes.

STARTER:

On one large set of axes sketch these straight lines, use a scale of one small square, but just label every 5 on the axes.

1. Y = 2x + 4
   
2. Y = 3x – 2
   
3. Y = -4x + 8
   
4. Y = 5x – 7
   
5. Y = -3x + 10
   
6. Y = -2x – 8
   
7. Y = ½ x + 7
   
8. Y = ¼ x – 10
   

LESSON Use the equation y = x² + 9x + 14 and y = x² - 7x + 10 to develop the skills needed to be able to sketch these graphs.

1. Find the y intercept
   
2. Factorise and find the roots
   
3. Complete the square to find the Minimum point.
   

Now have a go at sketching these quadratic curves.

1. y = x² + x - 2
   
2. y = x² - x - 6
   
3. y = x² - 5x + 6
   
4. y = x² + 3x +2
   
5. y = x² + 2x – 8
   
6. y = -x² – 2x +15
   
7. y = x² +8x + 15
   
8. y = x² - x – 20

Weds 2nd / Thurs 3rd May

Sitting Practice Paper 2 in exam conditions in the classroom

Hints:

Q3 1 gallon approximately equals 4.5 litres

Q4: buy 25 tiles get 5 free

Q5: remember 3 times enlargement will move each vertex three times the distance from the centre of enlargement

Q6 perimeter of Semi-circle = perimeter of rectangle, Write each as a formula and then simplify the equation to find r

Q7: Part a) Use Pythagoras theorem to work out screen size. Part b) 2.5 cm = 1 inch. Put ratio in cm and cancel, comment on the result

Q8: EG if answer is between 4.5 and 4.6 you must test 4.55 to decide whether to round to 4.5 or 4.6

Q9: mass= density x volume

Q10: Read labels carefully, triangles A and B are the two rightmost triangles. If you can show ratios of lengths are different scale factors then NOT SIMILAR

Q11: Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180. Solve the two equations using Simultaneous equation methods.

Q12: Use SOHCAHTOA to find length of square. Then you can find area of unshaded triangle. Two of these from area of whole square = shaded.

Q13: The Solutions are where the graph crosses the x axis. Work backwards to write the two brackets for the equation then show what it expands to.

You cannot do part(b) at the moment

Q14: a)Use re-arranged cosine rule to show angle A = 33.3. Or show that an angle of 33.3 at A will give a length of 110m

14b) use the angle to find area using ½ absinC rule, convert to acres using given values and finally work out the cost

Q15: a) remember that an are is a fraction out of 360 of the whole circumference

b) you need to find the new radius, then the height of the cone, then volume of a cone formula to work out the volume

Q16: Remember difference of two squares rul: a² – b² = (a+b)(a-b)
