We continued Chapter 9 – Integration and having covered the basics of integration i.e. the rules of integration last week we then moved onto calculating definite integrals and the area under a graph, which led onto area between two curves. This was followed by differential equations and then the mixed exercise to complete the chapter with the class reminded that they need to have ensured their notes are fully up to date and the exercises from the chapter finished. Work on this can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – A Level – Core 2 – Integration – Particular Solutions; Area under a Curve; Negative Areas and Area Between 2 Lines. I once again emphasized the need to know the laws of indices and how to do basic calculations involving fractions.
The pupils were informed that the date for the minimum competence NAB would be the week beginning 9th December and that a practice NAB would be issued prior to this we will go through it all with guidance on the threshold scores and how the marks are awarded.
The class were issued with homework 2-4 on Integration and this is due in on Tuesday 26th November.
