02 Jul 13 MEI Core 1 Specification 2013 You should download the MEI Core 1 Specification and keep it in a ring binder so that you can read it two pages at a time side by side.
01 Jul 13 How to Improve Your Study Skills This advice can help you to improve your study skills in all your subjects at A-level and at university. Professor Stephen Chew is a cognitive psychologist from Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama. Just recently, he has recorded five short videos (each 5 - 9 minutes long) to help students become more effective learners. They contain a whole range of dos and don'ts together with practical suggestions you can adopt to improve your learning. Below are direct links to each video. As an alternative you can log on to Youtube and type in 'Stephen Chew' How to get the most out of studying (Part 1) (6:54) How to get the most out of studying (Part 2) (7:15) How to get the most out of studying (Part 3) (5:46) How to get the most out of studying (Part 4) (9:17) How to get the most out of studying (Part 5) (7:29) 01 Jul 13 Have a play with Exploring Polynomial Graphs You are expected to recognise the shapes of graphs of polynomial functions such as: y = x^4 + 2x^3 - 3x^2 + 4x - 5 If the highest power of x is 4 the function is a quartic, 3 a cubic, 2 a quadratic, and 1 a linear function. The spreadsheet Exploring Polynomial Graphs allows you to click buttons at the end of slider bars to change the amounts of each power of x. This results in an animation showing the different shapes polynomial graphs can take. 01 Jul 13 Have a play with y = mx + c Here is a spreadsheet to help you explore the equation of a straight line: y= mx + c Click on the spin buttons to change the values of m and c to gain an appreciation of how they affect the slope and position of the line. 01 Jul 13 Welcome to L61M A-Level Mathematics This web site will provide a framework for your studies and links to important resources. The pages relevant to your studies are L61M, L61M News, AS Exam Papers and Core 1 Revision. The provisional exam dates for next summer are listed at the top of the page. Mr Smith |
