Generic/Miscellaneous Risp Ideas
The first of two RISP activities, Venn Diagrams explores lines in co-odinate geometry and quadratic functions...
Indices and Surds
This RISP activity from can be used when either consolidating or revising ideas of curve-sketching and indices. The numbers phi, e and pi are used in this investigation where students are asked to estimate the size numbers generated when raising these numbers to different powers. It is suggested that a graphing...
Integration 3: Differential Equations
The first of two RISP activities, Modelling the Spread of a Disease requires students to carry out a simulation of a disease spreading. Students carry out an experiment...
Logarithms
RISP activity Building Log Equations requires students to form equations given a set of cards and to determine, with examples, whether the equation is always, sometimes or...
Numerical Methods
This RISP activity Polynomial Equations with Unit Coefficients sets students the task of finding the roots of polynomials with a large number of terms. Students are...
Parametric Equations
This RISP activity is in the form of a puzzle in which students are given a general parametric equation with missing coefficients. A number of clues are given such as a point through which the curve passes. Students have to use their understanding of parametric equations to find the missing numbers. There are a...
Polynomials
The first of three RISP activities exporing polynomials, The Gold and Silver Cuboid requires students to find a connection...
This set of starting activities from RISPs cover a wide range of topics leading directly into the mathematic syllabus for A2 level. The risps resources are grouped by topic and each comes with accompanying teachers' notes.
Topics for A2 mathematics included in this resource are:
*Functions

Risps for A2 Level Core: Integration 2
This RISP activity, The answer's 1: what's the question?, gives students graphs containing shaded areas enclosed by two functions. Examples of a straight line and a quadratic graph, a cubic graph and an exponential graph are used. Given that the enclosed area has a value of one, students are asked...
Risps for A2 Level Core: Proof 2
Two Repeats covers the revision of algebraic topics including changing the subject of a formula, graphical solution of equations, solving simultaneous and quadratic equations and manipulating surds.
