RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
Contributions to the forum at http://www.mathsnet.net/forums/
have grown recently with many queries about mathematical techniques,
particularly at A level.
The Sharp calculator page at
http://www.mathsnet..net/graphcal/sharp.html includes some new downloadable
files on rectangular and polar functions.
http://www.mathsnetgcse.com
includes over 900 interactive mathematical questions now. That's where most of
my energies have gone recently. The site got this review in The Sunday
Times:
"Focused on GCSE mathematics, this site is an excellent attempt to
offer a solid set of resources for home practice. It contains hundreds of
questions, covering syllabus staples such as numbers, geometry and algebra. The
scarcity of "multiple guess" questions is refreshing. Instead, there are
typical maths problems containing randomnly generated figures, with
step-by-step guides to solving them. Click to see each step, then try a similar
but fresh task. Though the annual cost is £15 for after-school access
(more for schools themselves), this is not unreasonable. The look is
reminiscent of the days when the web was not so flash, but at least it works
over a dial-up connection. The sister site, www.mathsnet.net - an
every-trick-in-the-book resource - is gloriously untidy, but still free"
4 stars, The Sunday Times, Feb 1st 2004
Gloriously untidy? I am
going to take that as a compliment.
The ASA2 Mathematics at
http://www.mathsnet.net/asa2/modules/ and http://www.mathsnet.net/asa2/2004/
both include questions from the P1 module from the January exams.
Ofsted are coming to my school on March 22nd so all life stops here for
a few weeks... |
