This week we continued the topic Differentiation and Chapter 6. We finished up to Exercise 6N – which tied together the earlier exercises in the topic along with some of the other work in Unit 1. The class were reminded that they need to have mastered the Standard Grade work on Fractions, Indices and Factorising.
This week’s work culminated in sketching graphs of various functions by using Differentiation to identify the Stationary Points on a graph as well as the other major features such as the roots, where it crosses the y-axis and the shape of the graph.
The class were issued with homework 6 on Differentiation and this is due in on Tuesday 17th September. This will also provide the pupils with a good indicator of how well they are coping with the topic as the basic competence NAB test is scheduled for the week beginning the 30th September.
