This set of resources are part of our Transition to A level Mathematics: Essential Skills series, which focuses on the key skills that will be used across the whole spectrum of AS and A level Mathematics, to support students in the initial transition from GCSE to A level.
These resources look at the key skill of sketching, which is a really important tool to help simplify a written mathematical problem. From geometry in pure maths to mathematical modelling in mechanics, a sketch will help you to make sense of problems which look extremely challenging in written form. In this section we look at uses for sketching and the important role graph drawing packages can play to aid understanding.
Each section includes:
- skills check
- a chance to practise and explore
- some extra ideas that you may want to investigate further
These resources should provide about 3 hours of work. If you really get engaged by the enrichment activities, you may want to spend longer than this.
Each resource includes either written worked solutions, video solutions or links to websites.
