Flow – Ideas that underpin Differential Calculus
Presented here is a tried and proven three to five lesson sequence that begins with an engaging real-world context and grows students from the idea of average rate of change to instantaneous rate of change.
It is accessible to any student who has an understanding of average and gradient.
In this collection of resources you will find: a) a three-part introductory video (I, IIa and IIb), which structures the sequence of learning, b) two support video that shows “how to” do the technical stuff on the CG 20 AU.
Logarithms – when adding is multiplying (9860)
This unit aims to provide a simple/useful way to thing about logarithms when first meting them.
We use two examples of “hard” to graph data (due to the extreme range in the values) to alert students to the idea of thinking about a number as its power, as opposed to its absolute value.
The rest of the unit aims to establish a way to think about calculating with logarithms that will set a sound foundation for later on and that builds on their knowledge of ‘indices’ from previous years.
CG112 Calculating recursively using Ans
This short video shows how to perform recursive calculations, in this case involving compound interest, using the Ans command in the Run.Mat app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
