From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity shows how compound interest can be calculated over different intervals. As the intervals get smaller and smaller, the total value approaches a limit. Topic areas covered are:
• Use of...

From the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, these materials help students reinforce their existing knowledge and understanding of compression ratios. The activity helps with assessing students’ levels of confidence and competence and also with identifying any misconceptions that need addressing. The session...

This resource consists of two documents. One is a theory sheet and the other a structured workbook for students to complete. This would form a useful independent learning resource so could be issued as a homework task.
