Year 11 Studies Further Functions in Action

Year 11 Advanced Maths collected data from the world around them for their assessment on further functions.

The aspiring mathematicians measured the way that water arcs into a parabola, measured the velocity of a ball bearing launched from ramps of different heights and used billiard balls to observe angles of incidence and reflection.

After 2 hours of experimentation, the students will now need to analyse their results and draw conclusions from their calculations. Their work will need to be submitted as a report.

The class will move on to studying differentiation after they’ve submitted their assignments.
