How far are you into the Maths course?

Prodigious

I believe the following are all the chapters on our course. Are any gone or are any missing?

- Algebra x
- Trigonometry x
- Line, Circle x
- Differentiation x
- integration x
- Complex Numbers x
- Binomial theorem
- Financial Maths
- Sequences & Series
- Proof by Induction
- Probability
- Statistics

We've only done the ones with an x marked so I'd imagine we're behind? Teacher spends 80% of every class going over homework. :mad:
Does anyone know how many theorems we have to know, and which ones they are?

How far are ye on?

theidiots

Or you in 5th or 6th year? Higher or Ordinary?

Your basically fecked if your doing higher and thats all ye done.

Prodigious

6th, Higher.

Bollix. Thought as much. Grinds here I come :rolleyes: State of the education system.

We're currently doing proof by induction and only have enlargements left after that which is only a tiny part of geometry. Stats and prob are going to take ye a good while to cover tbh, thats not great that ye have so much left to cover.

Have ye really that much left to do. :eek:

- Algebra x
- Trigonometry x
- Line, Circle x
- Differentiation x
- integration x
- Complex Numbers x
- Binomial theorem x
- Matrices
- Sequences & Series x
- Proof by Induction
- Probability x
- Statistics x

We've that much done and our teacher still thinks it will be a struggle to cover/fine tune everything by June.

Matrices aren't on the new course. At least thats one less to worry about

I'm in 5th year and we've done all this... looks like you have 1) a terrible teacher and 2) a lot of work to do, unfortunately

patakadarragh

We are finished and now revising. 6th yr, higher level.

HPMS

We only have geometry left to do. Paper one completely finished! And we've been revising as well, if we hadn't done so much revision we'd have been well finished by now! I'd say start learning stuff yourself just so you're not too far behind come May.:)

gemmalions

5th year, apparently we can answer all of paper one..... So halfway there? I'm being hopeful here

Prodigious

I think she's a good teacher but is too by the book. She has an obsession with checking homework which infuriates me. If you're in higher level maths you can do the homework or GTFO, you should want to be there. There are slower people in our class too that hold us back. Balls. I'll have to get grinds now. Sad state of affairs when capable students like myself and a few others have to get grinds just to complete the course, never mind revising! Gonna confront her on monday.

HPMS

Sorry for the double post but to answer your question there are only 3 theorems to be learned...I think they're numbers 11, 12 and 13 or maybe 12, 13 and 14. If you have active maths they're in there anyway!

What about financial maths?

Algebra DONE
- Trigonometry DONE
- Line, Circle DONE
- Differentiation DONE
- integration DONE
- Complex Numbers
- Binomial theorem
- Matrices
- Sequences & Series DONe
- Proof by Induction
- Probability STARTED
- Statistics

**** we're behind aswell I think. And we done everything from the old books so I presume we have to go over the new project style questions.

YoursSincerely

probability and statistics are such long chapers and make up most of paper two, i can't believe ye don't have them done yet! confront your teacher thats so unfair! maybe your principal could oraganise for your teacher to give extra classes after school, a lot of schools are doing that now because the maths course is so long!

Ellenkc

We've got a bit of Functions and some Integration left to do. There's probably bits and pieces in other topics we need to do, but we should be done a week or two after Easter. I'm in a Pilot school though, so we've a lot less to do in all the strand 5 stuff. You'll be hard pushed to get that done, will she take ye for extra classes after school or during Easter at all?

theidiots

We worked on exam papers for the final 4 months of sixth year. Brought everyone up by multiple grades. Was always floating around D1 or C3 in honors maths and the work we did on the exam papers brought me up to a B.

bluejay14

Maths is a bit of a lost cause to me, I can do less and less in every chapter.

We've done everything for paper 2 so that's:
Probability
Statistics
Geometry
Trigonometry
Enlargements
Line
Circle
Constructions
Theorems

For paper 1 we've covered:
Algebra
Arithmetic
Financial Maths
Indices and Logs
Sequences and Series
Complex Numbers

Still left to do:
Differentiation
Integration
Proof by Induction
Length area volume
the really small chapter on Real Numbers

I love my math teacher

To be fair to your teachers the project maths course is long/tedious and should not be finished at this stage of the year if taught using the correct/advised problem solving methods unless you have been doing extra classes.

How far are ye on?

Both Statistics and Probability are big chapters on their own! We almost spent 3 and a half to 4 months doing them altogether collectively!

We just have the Binomial Theorem, Financial Maths and Sequences and series to finish, and a few pieces here and there but the majority of our course is in the rear view mirror at this stage!

ahmdoda

dam man my teacher never checks the homework and i dont blame him!! we are mature enough for god sake to know what is good or what is bad for us and by not doing homework your harming no one but ur self! talk to that teacher!

Jade.

We have complex numbers and one other topic to do and then we are finished the course.

We are finished bar for the proof of De Moivre's theorum by Induction and a few odds and ends.

Stats and Prob take a sizeable amount of time. Surprised a school didn't cover them before the mocks seeing as the topic is central to the new paper 2.

theidiots

If you don't do the homework for maths you may as well go back to pass. Teacher should realise the students are mature enough and advise them if needed to go back to pass after class tests or advise the parents

didn't realize how much we have done until reading this! We didn't start the course until November last year because of the mix up with the book printing and were worried we wouldn't get it done!
To make up for time we do an extra hour after school on Wednesdays and use two study classes a week as extra maths.

Went into the mocks without geometry, trig and enlargements done. Got my results today and got 41%, absolutely delighted as I was convinced I failed!

It might be a good idea to suggest extra classes to your teacher though.

Monsieur Folie

Done almost all of paper one, just finishing off differentiation and then it's just integration to go with that.

With paper two we've covered trig, and most if not all of geometry, but we haven't touched probability or statistics. I'm worried now, have we time to properly cover integration, statistics and probability and brush up the rest of our topics by June? If not I might start skipping ahead and getting a bit of a head start on those chapters myself.

Our teacher is very unreliable.
Thankfully, I'm getting grinds.
Really damn annoying, because I'm pretty good at maths, we just have so little covered

well this thread is very motivating. goodbye A1.

Anyone go to Leeson St for maths?

Don't know what area you're from but Limerick Tutorial College do fantastic Saturday classes!
