This week in mathematics, Pre-IB students have been looking at transforming a range of functions including circles, trigonometric, linear and quadratic. Following some initial discussion, the students put their skills and knowledge to the test using Desmos (an online graphing tool) to see if they could draw a 'function face'. Maybe you could have a go yourself over the weekend?

‘If you would like the once in a lifetime opportunity to come to the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, then this is your chance! This year, we are asking students to submit a short video which asks you to complete this following statement: If I were an innovator at MIT, I would.. The videos should last between 90 seconds and 3 minutes’… – this is a message I found in the TBS newsletter in March 2024.
The Max Box Project was an excellent opportunity for Year 9 students to engage in a hands-on task that not only reinforced their understanding of mathematical concepts such as volume, nets, and algebraic modeling but also promoted critical meta-cognitive skills. The task, which involved determining the maximum volume of an open box made from a 20 cm x 20 cm square, required students to think deeply, plan, reflect, and adjust their approach as they progressed. This end-of-unit project encouraged self-awareness of their learning processes while fostering essential problem-solving skills.
