ok im done, wasted way too much time on that.

It might be a good idea to go over the theory for the chapter. I'll give a quick summary for part 3 to help you along: Horizontal asymptotes occur when a graph tends to a particular value for extremely large values of ‘x’. In the question given, y=0 is a horizontal asymptote because for larger...

what herowise said the syllabus is new. most teachers will learn what's in the syllabus after having taught the syllabus. it's not so easy to keep track of what's new when the std maths, 2u adv, 3u and 4u syllabii have all changed fairly recently.

This is an extension of compound interest. In a compound interest question, you start off with ONE sum of money, which gets compounded over time. In this question, we are putting multiple sums of money (at the start of every year actually), and EACH OF THOSE SUMS gets compounded separately. We...

still keen on buying the powerpoints. PM'd you heaps of times already.

Doesn't matter at all :) Just choose whichever one you want. Once you gain experience, you'll start to gain a preference as to which you find easier, but really, it makes no difference.

(Dr.?) Tywebb, will you be working your magic and collecting trial papers for Year 11 of the new syllabi? And perhaps Year 12 trial papers for Mathematics Standard 2? They're far more helpful than textbooks!

you don't really need notes for maths :o better off collaborating in making flashcards for each topic from past papers, or even a textbook

it's rising vertically. so it's a sohcahtoa question. tan 27 = x / 300 and tan 61 = y / 300 solve x and y. now, speed = distance / time so, speed = (y-x) / (7.03am - 7.00 am) you should be able to do b now.

Option 1 sounds better. Make the solutions a 'teacher's resource' and price it high - every school will buy it, guaranteed, and some students will too. But more importantly, students won't look at the solutions at the drop of a pin, and thereby forego any thinking they may have had to do - which...

wow, this is brilliant!

bump?

you want goods + services case studies, preferably 1 each for differentiation (eg Apple for goods + Qantas for service) and cost leadership (eg Kmart for goods + IMO car wash for service). it's important to note that you CAN use hypothetical case studies too, as long as they make sense.

this :-) just look at old past papers, and find questions for topics you're doing. There's also quite a few collection of questions by topics floating around on the internet which you can use, including compilation of HSC/CSSA questions by topic. for some of the newer topics, like pigeonhole...

after you finish a topic, go through ~50-100 past papers and make a collection of past paper questions which are relevant to the topic you've just finished. then go about answering them SLOWLY. Don't rush through them all on the same day. By far and away the most important thing is to make sure...

Is there a kind soul who could use MS Paint (or equivalent) to draw up a test route? I'm in the west side of Sydney, so preferably Penrith/blacktown/Parra/Wetheril Park. If we could make a small collection in this thread, I'm sure it would help the confidence of many people in the future...

doing well in general will still require a major time committment. better to just devote time daily to 2u adv maths imo. you should only drop if you genuinely found 2u adv to be too hard, and you were struggling to understand the concepts.

The most important advice anyone can give you: don't leave everything to the last minute

just do up to question ~8 in old format trial papers (ie papers without multiple choice questions), and up to question ~14 or so in the newer format papers (ie ones with multiple choice). I'd say that's a "band 4" level. although, if your students can do EVERY question up to the ones I've...

alternatively, divide into 3 cases: oldest woman in, youngest girl not oldest woman out, younger girl in oldest woman out, youngest girl out you get the same answer :-) just understand what you're doing and think your way through. integral's way is 100% correct too.
