Math Is Fun Forum

Agree with last message. Not sure that a cap would portray the right image for the site. Any other images to see? I like the general idea though.

Oop, trying to be clever with computer commands. Will have another go - hope you understand what I meananyway.
Ans:

Cheers mathsy- much appreciated.

Names for the characters?
Coloured in figures?

Pet Animals? - parrot called Poly-gon (very obvious, but might appeal to younger users of the site)
Boy Name : RON (Using protractor/ drawing angles, Right Outside numbers)

OOps, sorry mathsy, but I just had a brainwave - apologies. What is ghoti game anyway

Success

Why didn't the hide box work? - what am I doing wrong?
{hide=help!} Is this it? {/hide}

Your Statistical methods sound well in line with A* although how they are used in the analysis and evaluation in relation to your initial hypothesis would prove of interest. Dont worry, bet you got at least  two 7's and a 6 for it which should guarantee the highest grade anyway.

As regards your choice of topic areas - dont worry - they will all come up! lol
Similarity and changing the subject can be tricky too.

Just as matter of interest for me Daniel, would you mind spending a couple of mins on these 5 questions- see if you get all 5 right (will send answers next time as dont know how to hide info in message areas yet - or get my logo upand running!)
All these cropped up in my lessons recently (year 10) and all not that straight forward ie Most couldnt do them!!

1. 24 divided by 1/3 ?
2. 0.3 x 0.3 ?
3. Change 15 sqm into sqcm
4. What is 1 divided by 0 ?
5. What is the sine of 45 ?(no calculator)

Hi Daniel - I teach maths at a secondary school so if you have specific problems then just let me know.

A couple of questions for you :
1. What board are you doing, edexcel, OCR or AQA? normally

2. Are you doing the Higher Tier level of entry?

Don't frget that you have already done 20% of the exam in coursework format.

My advice at this stage is to stay calm and just organise your revision properly.
I guess that you enjoy maths and are pretty competent at it already just by the sheer fact that you are using this maths forum in the first place..... so don't worry too much.

Good Rule for revision -1 hour revision then a break...1 hour revision....etc (no distractions)
Make sure that you have a go at plenty of Past Paper questions which will really improve confidence and aid your progress.

By the way,at our school we do the edexcel exams but it doesnt really matter.

Anyway, good luck... but just remember that if you want help then just post further messages on this thread.

Hope this helps mate.

Hi Maria

Why not try this alternative way using easy square numbers....

26 x 26

This is 4 away from 30 so...... add and subtract 4 to 26 to get   22 x 30 = 660
                                     Then add on your 4 squared                         = 660 + 16 = 676

eg 13 x 13 = (10 x 16) + (3 x 3) = 169

Neat eh? - hope this of use.
