Trigonometry 2.6 cm 68 mm θ A B C

Trigonometry Triangle properties (not names): right angle; orientation; angle-sum Labelling (conventions): vertex letters are not algebra; lengths are not accurate; θ is ‘theta’ and often used for angles; what is the curved line? Concepts: ratio; inverse function; transforming equations etc. …

What prior knowledge is helpful? What is unhelpful? Images Language Methods Contributory concepts Assumptions Limitations ………………. etc.

Whole school approaches to creating the orchestra

Straight line graphs

Internet images of straight line graphs Nearly all positive Negatives go through zero or are about fitting lines to data points Key Maths says ‘top left to bottom right’

Straight line graphs Graphs: represent a quantitative relationship; relation between line and coordinate pairs (conventions and meaning) Reading a graph: axes; continuity; (conventions and meaning) Dimensions of variation & range of possible changes etc.

Calculus y = (x 2 + 1) e -x

Calculus

Use of letters: variables; unknowns; parameters; constants Functions: expressions; relations between functions Graphs: … Similarity: … etc. …

What prior knowledge is helpful? What is unhelpful? Images Language Methods Assumptions Limitations ………………. etc.

Whole school approaches to creating the orchestra

Vertical integration of key ideas in the curriculum Continuity How to read mathematics Different meanings of letters Ratio Similarity Functions and graphs etc.

Algorithm … Algorithm – you can use it Algorithm – why teach anything more? Algorithm – don’t abuse it Algorithm – why teach anything more? I will test you To see if you know it Then I’ll give you Your next target
