Meaningful Equations: Some formulae (in advance)

Have you ever wonder how some of these formulae are derived or how to verify some of them?

1. The Pythagoras Theorem

There are 2 clips that's shared during the lesson relating to the Pythagoras' Theorem:

2. Area of Trapezium

Do you know, we can derive the formula for the area of a Trapezium using area of triangle and factorisation?

 

3. Surface area of a sphere

Do you know that the Surface Area of a Sphere is related to the area of circles?

[Group Discussion] Factorisation Pyramid Challenge

This was carried out during lesson on 1 August 2022 (approx 20min).

The challenge is to recognise "characteristics" of the given expression and apply the appropriate factorisation method(s) to factorise the expression completely. 

On the whole: 

• Group A 3 points
• Group B 7 points 
• Group C 7 points
• Group D 12 points 👏 🏆 (winner as submitted on 1 Aug)

[Warming Up] Algebra... after a break...

Today, we revisited the following (after a short break to focus on Data Handling):

• HW4abc (selected questions): Expansion, Factorisation 
• Warming up Worksheet - Page 1 - The focus was factorisation with common factors

Here's the answers (in case some of you did not 'catch' it)

Please be prepared for (page 2)

Note: Answers for HW4abc can be found in the Homework Post in Google Classroom.

Introduction: Data Handling - Statistical Investigation

Some new words/ phrases are introduced during the lesson:

• Data points, Sample Size (n ≥ 30)
• Raw data
• Respondents/ Participants
• Survey (as an action/ process or an instrument to collect information)
• Mean, Mode, Median
• Frequency Table, Tally

Example (A3)

Example (B2)

The following presents 2 "approaches" to simplify the algebraic fractions. 

Preferred: Method 1, where we simplify the numerator (if it's not in the simplified form) before expressing in a single fraction.
