Teachers’
Notes:
- The materials
are designed for whole class teaching of the A level module S1.
- All the theory
required for AQA, Edexcel, OCR and MEI/OCR is covered.
- There are 41
files. The first file ( named 0 Contents ) gives the titles of the other
files and indicates which presentations are appropriate to each of the 4
specifications.
- The materials
work best if the students sit in pairs, as they can then be involved as the
theory is developed, by sharing ideas with their partners.
- The slides indicate
with clip art images when it is useful to take notes, use a calculator to
check a calculation, or do an exercise.
- Many graphs
in the presentation have been imported from the software Autograph. Use
of Autograph
“live” to investigate ideas in greater depth or to aid understanding
is very valuable and the presentations can be paused at any point to do
this.
Whilst the materials are designed for use by teachers, they can be made available
on intranets so that students can have access if they have missed work or
wish to review work. A site licence is required for this.
- At the end of
each presentation there are pages containing the main points of the topic
in black and white form suitable for printing for making photocopies.

"This is the Whiteboard Maths of A Level. It is a series of PowerPoint
files that covers the whole of the A Level course. Volume 1 is A/S, Volume
2 is A2, and Volume 3 is Statistics. The coverage and detail are extremely
impressive, and once again if you are looking to introduce some ICT into A
Level teaching, then there is no better single package around. But once again,
be warned - each slide contains so much detail that it can be overwhelming
for students if they are merely clicked through."
