Term 3 Algebra

This page goes up to Level 6 (Year 11). See 9NN Algebra for Level 3 & 4 basic skills on Transum.

Week 6 - Revision, Plot Points & Gradient

  • 9nn: This week is independent learning, so workbooks & devices were used to revise algebra and learn about co-ordinates.
  • 10mm & 10r: Enjoyed Desmos Boats, the Linear Card Game, Parabola Card Game & Card Game.
  • 9x: Co-ordinates & Gradient then the same games as year 10s. Desmos marble slides.

Week 7 - Linear Graphs

Week 8 - Quadratics & Parabolas (Year 10 & 9x).

Year 10 Learning Work Book: Chapter 7 Pages 121 to 134. Year 9 Chapters 6,7 & 8.

The above images are from Mathigon. Can you find more images on the internet which show movement which can be modeled by a parabola? Notice the standard parabola, y=x^2 is the other way up. Can you find bridges, archways, banana's and eyebrows which are parabola shaped? Download your selected images, upload them to Desmos and fit a parabola to your shapes. Embed your desmos file into your Google Site. Write a reflection about your learning. Use the words: Vertex & symmetry and include the equations.

The Video shows you how to calculate the Vertex of a Parabola when the Equation is in Factored form. It then shows you how to expand, then complete the square, to get the equation in the Vertex form.

In order to find images to upload into Desmos, google "parabolas in real life" and click on "images".

Connect the factored form of quadratics with the Parabola.

Factorize Quadratics when the coefficient of the x-squared term is not 1.
