Trig Graphs

You can use this applet to drag point C around the circle, and will be able to see how the points P and Q move.  If you right click on P or Q and "Show Trace" it will leave a path behind.

Snow Day 18th Jan 2013

School is shut today due to the weather (Snow Day!), but the S1 and S2 exam is still on for y12/13 (and the y11 RS exam).
The exams start at 1pm and there will be hot choc / tea / coffee available in the canteen from 12:30.  Mr Darton will be there to resiter you.

If you are revising this morning, I am around on email, or on twitter (@jbsmaths).

Good luck this afternoon.

Year 11 module results

Year 11 you have got your module results today (Thursday Jan 10th).  The score on your results sheet will be a number (called UMS), and it will be helpful to you to convert this into a grade.

Here is the table that converts a UMS into a (decimalised) grade (it is the same scale for the unit 1 score you got last year).  (To open the table in a new window, Click here).

Calculator

You can use our Grade calculator to give you an idea of what you need to get in the summer exam. Click here to find it.  (This calculator can get quite busy, and sometimes breaks - please bear with it and let Mr Smy know if it is giving silly or completely wrong values!)

Your maths teacher will talk to you over the next couple of weeks to work out the plan for moving forward, and achieving the highest possible grade for each of you.
