Continuing to add to the A-level Further Maths resources: ✨Maclaurin Series Crack the Code ✨Momentum and Impulse with Vectors Fill in the Blanks ✨Work Done on an Inclined Plane Fill in the Blanks All freely available at www.draustinmaths.com/a-level-further-maths #ALevelMaths #MathsToday
An image of an A-level Further Maths resource titled Maclaurin Series Crack the Code. It consists of 8 A-level style questions on Maclaurin series that students must solve, then add their answers together to get a code.An image of an A-level Further Mechanics resource titles Momentum and Impulse with Vectors Fill in the Blanks. Students must find missing values of mass, initial and final velocity, force, time and impulse in a table, given some of the information.An image of an A-level Further Mechanics resource titled Work Done on an Inclined Plane Fill in the Blanks. Students must fill in the missing values of mass, tension, frictional force, coefficient of friction, distance, angle and work done in a table, given some of the information.

#ALevelMaths Looking at iterative solutions to equations today, so I wrote this root finder in @desmos.com, utilising the Newton-Raphson method. r(a, n) uses n iterations starting at x=a to identify a root. #MathsToday www.desmos.com/calculator/4...

The University of London Schools Examination Board (ULSEB) used to pre-test those questions back in those analogue days to make sure they got a decent range of responses (ie to make sure they were not too easy, not too hard). Many can still be found on the emporium!
