Independence, Estimation & Sine Rule

Hi

It’s interesting to see the pages people are visiting on 3minutemaths.co.uk, before they become new subscribers. Posts written a long time ago are — just occasionally — seeing the light of day … and it’s good to see that they are still being read.

One of those posts is ‘How to develop independent learning skills.’ I don’t think it’ll win any prizes for being SEO friendly, and the title is a little long, but perhaps some of the comments are still relevant today? What do you think?

Key Stage 2

Here’s a popular anagrams worksheet . Please do let me know if you would like to write your own, and I’d be delighted to add to the newsletter.

Perhaps one of the most used maths skills is ‘estimation.’ From visiting the supermarket, glancing at your change, to how much time it takes to get somewhere — there’ll always be some element of estimation.

Here’s a worksheet that might help.

Key Stage 4

For a channel that calls itself ‘3 minute maths,’ I really prefer slightly longer videos. The original idea was ‘learn in 3, practice for 30,’ but it’s got a little lost as the site has developed …

Anyway, here’s every sine rule question.

Looking forward to seeing you soon

PS. And, did you know?

The proper name for the hashtag symbol, #, is an ‘octothorpe.’

PPS. I hope you’re enjoying these newsletters, and that the resources are useful … I have very much enjoyed creating them for the past year, and plan to continue for a little while longer.

So — in the best traditions of keeping costs under control — I’m going to ask a favour. Amazon operate an affiliate scheme and, at no additional cost, I get a (very) small commission if you order anything through my affiliate link at 3minutemaths.

No problem at all if you have no plans to buy anything at this time — it’s only a small request, and I’ll keep working on some new materials. Coming soon … sine (done!) / cosine rule, areas & volumes, intro to A level maths …
