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.


CG713 Using a table of values

This video shows how to use a table of values to investigate the behaviour of a function, in particular when it takes a zero value, using the Table app of a CASIO fx-CG20 AU.


CG222 Finding a linear model of ‘best fit’ for bivariate data

This short video shows how to determine a line of best fit for bivariate data via a scatterplot drawn using the Statistics app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CG712 Generate and plot a table of values

This short video shows how to generate a table of values, along with a plot of the table, for a function using the Table app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CG114 Working with angles – converting to and from degrees, mins and secs

This short video shows how to convert angles measured in degrees minutes and seconds to and from angles expressed as decimals using the Run-Matrix app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CGA11 Solving a system of simultaneous equations

This short video shows how to solve a system of linear simultaneous equations using the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CG223 Fitting a regression model to bivariate data

This short video shows how to generate a regression model of “best fit” for bivariate data via a scatterplot drawn using the Statistics app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CGA31 Solving an equation

This short video shows how to solve ‘any’ equation using the numerical solver in the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented. Changing the ‘seed’ to obtain an alternative solution, and the graphical representation of multiple solutions, is included.


CGA32 Solving for unknowns in formulae

This short video shows how to find the value of an unknown, via the substitution of known values into a formula and the use of the numerical Solver in the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.


CGI11 Fitting a function to a picture

This short video shows you how to fit a quadratic function to a picture of the Sydney Harbour Bridge using the Picture Plot app of a CASIO fx-CG20AU.
