Complex Numbers Hexagonal Jigsaw Puzzle
MEI Online Resources provide this hexagonal jigsaw activity on Complex Numbers.
It is a matching activity in which triangles ultimately fit together to form a large hexagon and is designed as a group activity. Collaboration with others will help to highlight any misconceptions held by individual students....
MEI Online resources for OCR FP1 provide a selection of materials for equations and geometric representation. A PowerPoint presentation demonstrates a variety of techniques which can be used to factorise polynomials, also included are detailed notes, a study plan, additional exercises for students to complete as...
MEI Online resources for OCR FP1 provide a selection of materials for the modulus-argument form of complex numbers. These include thorough notes, a study plan with additional exercises for students to complete and a multiple choice test. There is also a demonstration of the Argand diagram and an activity to promote...
Compound Interest
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows how compound interest can be calculated over different intervals. As the intervals get smaller and smaller, the total value approaches a limit. Topic areas covered are:
• Use of...
Core maths - EVolution of vehicle sales
EV refers to Electric Vehicles and in this lesson pupils explore data, statistics, graphs and infographics related to road traffic and emissions from cars in the UK...
Core maths – extreme weather
In this lesson students examine whether reports of extreme cold weather provide evidence that global warming is not happening. They look at the New York Times graphs of summer temperature distributions for the northern hemisphere for different periods and interrogate/critique these graphs.
Students will...
Core maths – trees and carbon capture
In this lesson students explore data showing how much carbon dioxide different species of tree absorb from the atmosphere.
Students interpret data, statistics, graphs and infographics and make predictions and draw conclusions...
Core maths – trees for net zero
In this lesson students develop their estimation and proportional reasoning skills, developing a sense of scale of large ...
These MEI Online resources are suitable for use by students studying Edexcel Further Pure Mathematics 1 (FP1).
There are detailed study notes for complex numbers, Powerpoint presentations to demonstrate techniques for factorising polynomials, demonstrations of the Argand diagram, topic related tests and...
Egypt’s road problem
In this resource linked to COP27 in Egypt, maths students apply pythagoras’ theorem to solving Egypt’s road building conundrum. The resource explores efficient road designs and the climate impacts of car travel then uses the context of reducing travel time for the most people, reducing the length of new roads and...
