    Algebra (Higher)

    A collection of links, videos etc that will give you last minute revision

    Bitesize has a comprehensive list
    Bitesize does Simultaneous Equations
    A really, really good Mind Map - I like these



    Factorising
    Common Factors


    If you can stay awake this is video 35 of 51

    Factorising Quadratics
    A worksheet explaining quadratics such as 2x2 + 5x − 7.

    a^2-b^2 = \left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)


    Oh dear he tries to be funny - a difference of 2 Squares

    Trigonometry: Graphs


    Chapter 37 Graphs

    I'll add things later - but do subscribe/follow it'll help - this topic will be on the second paper.

    Cubic Functions
    • Have a look at Bitesize Cubic Function )
    • Have a look at the links - there is a good summary of the graphs you should know.

    A video that is American but watch once!



    Reciprocal Function look at how this is plotted









    Trigonometric functions sine, cosine - be aware of what they look like







    Solving Quadratic equations graphically






    37.3 Transformations and Functions

    A very good start is to look at Bitesize
    Translations, Stretch, Reflection
    There is a pdf here - 9 pages that will need printing out.
