Mathematics Mastery

Summary

This unit builds on earlier areas further developing the mastery of this important area of mathematics through excellent use of context and reasoning skills. Density and pressure are explored and calculated. Ratios of the lengths, areas and volumes of similar shapes are explored and used to solve problems in context, with units being converted as appropriate. Velocity time graphs are drawn and their gradients and the area under the graph are interpreted in context. Direct and inverse proportion relationships are recognised and interpreted, and where appropriate represented algebraically. Compound interest is explored and students set up, solve and interpret real-life problems. The unit concludes by considering growth and decay problems in context; setting up and solving problems through repeated calculations (rather than using a formula) and interpreting the solutions.

What people say...

I have found PG Online resources not only time saving, but also comprehensive – following the specification of the GCSE and A-Level courses that I teach. They are engaging for students and with the added bonus of homework’s and end of unit assessments planned out. The textbooks are also the perfect companion. I cannot recommend PG Online resources enough.

PG Online have been a lifesaver for good quality schemes of work. The resources are really well thought out, really well paced and the homeworks and assessments test the core understanding of each lesson. I have also found the textbooks to be a great course companion.
