I recently presented for Edexcel on Innovative methods for teaching Further Mathematics. I wanted to ensure everything was accessible to teachers who are new to teaching further maths, so focussed on introducing some topics and ideas. I used a mixture of Autograph and Geogebra to demonstarte how I approach certain topics. I have also created an Edexcel Further maths Dropbox that anyone is more than welcome to contribute to. Below are the activities the delegates worked on:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0This worksheet<\/a>\u00a0gives instructions on building\u00a0the Autograph file and details about the investigation. Think about the questions you\/students could be asking as you work through this.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0to open\u00a0Geogebra<\/a>.\u00a0Use the images below (or Google your own) to experiment with the different conic sections. Here is a link<\/a> to a video guide to using these.<\/p>\n <\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0Load this\u00a0Geogebra file<\/a>.\u00a0Write down the key questions\u00a0you could ask to make the most of these learning resource.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0The image of F<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Work through\u00a0this\u00a0<\/a><\/span>worksheet<\/a>\u00a0and write\u00a0down how this resource\u00a0<\/span>enhances<\/span>\u00a0students\u2019 learning.

You will find\u00a0some ideas on how the resources could be used.<\/span><\/p>\n A link to the\u00a0Edexcel Further Maths Dropbox<\/a>\u00a0area can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. You will find tons of resources to use with FP1, FP2 and FP3 here. It would be great if you could become a contributor to this.. Contact\u00a0me for details on how to do this.<\/p>\n In order to increase uptake of Further Maths, why not create a community of mathematicians across the school, using your more able mathematicians as ‘Maths Ambassadors’. At TDA we have set up a regular problem solving club for KS4 and KS5 students where they focus on problems from the\u00a0UKMT mentoring scheme<\/a>. We have also got students to register with\u00a0brilliant.org<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0MathFights<\/a>\u00a0to add to motivation and explore areas of mathematics outside of the curriculum. In addition to this, we have invested in all of the\u00a0FunMaths Roadshow<\/a>\u00a0resources.<\/p>\nLinear Algebra<\/h1>\n
