Mathematics Level 3 Extension
In this first masterclass, the focus of the lesson is that the students will take a key role in producing the formulae for the Arithmetic series. In lesson two students will appreciate the diverse applications of this ancient subject; the motivation of the learners is tackled by the lesson drawing on a large range of visual aids. In this third masterclass, through experiment, the students will produce the formula for the derived function of a polynomial expression. In the fourth lesson students will find areas under curves using the techniques of polynomial integration and proceed to find approximate areas by applying the trapezium rule. In the fifth and final masterclass in this series, the students will appreciate the role played by logarithms in today’s technological society.
