SImplifying Fractions
Tarsia sorting cards game. Simplify the fractions - match the question to its answer. Beware - there are 18 question cards and 20 answer cards (the addtional answers are red herrings)
Solution:
Addition and Subtraction of Algebraic Fractions - some examples to start the lesson with.
Now see if you can answer these questions:
Questions on simplifying trigonometric identites:
Worksheet:
trigonometric-identities-questions - questions for pupils using their knowledge of trionometric identities.
Questions on solving basic trigonometric equations:
Worksheets:
Trig identities and equations - a worksheet using knowledge of trig identities to solve trig equations.
Presentation:
Chapter 8 Trig Graphs - a PowerPoint outlining the important information in Chapter 8 that pupils need to learn. Details have been omitted from diagrams, so that you can add them as you go through the presentation with the students. I print the slide handouts for the students and they annotate them with the relevant details. This speeds up the teaching which helps you get more maths done!
These are the special Trigonometric Ratios that pupils need to learn
Presentation:
radians-introduction a PowerPoint presentation to support the material in Chapter 6 of the Edexcel text book for the C2 module.
