Some students get really confused between differentiation and integration of Trigonometry. In fact, I personally feel that integration of Trigonometry is easier as there are only 3 general formulas (as shown). In this video, I’ve shown the thinking process, step by step approach on how to integrate Trigonometry with square power, an advanced concept.  Hope you find the approach and explanation useful.

I would love to hear your comments.

Last lesson, I recapped with my students the essence of Binomial Theorem in A-Math and upon searching my website, I found that I have written quite a number of posts on this topic.

I’m going to list down the points you need to know before you go for your exams.

Do you know

• How to use the Binomial formula provided on the formula sheet?  (term by term expansion, (r+1)th general term, factorial formula)
• What’s term independent of x?
• Which term to use in a double bracket expansion?
• How to apply Binomial concepts in evaluating values?

Binomial theorem is closely linked to Indices and every year, there is always one question worth 5 – 7 marks in ‘O’ Levels.

Hope you find this post beneficial and I would love to hear your comments on Binomial theorem. Do you like this topic or you don’t? Leave me a comment.

Many students don’t like the topic in A-Math known as ‘Kinematics’. My guess is that it is linked closely to Physics which is a subject not favourited by many too.

To be able to understand Kinematics, I always get my students to be familiar with what I call a ‘Kinematics Vocabulary List’. [Click here to download a printable note]

I hope you find this list useful. I would like to hear from you how you find Kinematics in Differentiation & Integration. Do you like it or dislike it? Leave me a comment.

Students whom I coach know that I’m a ‘lazy‘ person when it comes to memorizing. So the way I teach is also free of memory work most of the time or if memorization is involved, I will cook up funny, ridiculous mnemonic (I can’t spell this word, had to google for correct spelling)  to help them remember better.

In this post, I’m sharing with you how I come out with a simple mindmap from Mindmeister.com to remember the type of numbers. For example, what are integers, whole numbers, natural numbers? I get confused easily and I’m sure some of you also face the same problem, isnt it?

This is useful in topics like Set Notation and Inequality, topics in E-Maths. If you like the mindmap, feel free to save it by ‘Right Click’ and ‘Save as’. You can refer to it whenever and wherever.

If you’re having problems understanding Set Notation, Inequality, join me at my Intensive Revision BootCamp this holidays. Click here for more information.

This is my first video using flipvideo.

I know the ‘whiteboard’ section is slightly shaky and blur; I’ll improve in my next video.
