A-Math: How to Integrate Trigonometry with Square Power [video]

IntegrationTrigo_Page_2Some 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.

A-Math: Kinematics Vocabulary List on Displacement, Velocity & Acceleration (Includes a printable note)

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.

Differentiation & Integration Mastery Workshop (Includes Kinematics too!)

Update: Click here for early bird registration.

Dear Students,

Do you know that Differentiation & Integration are 2 very important sections for O Level A-Math? Based on 2008 GCE O Level Additional Mathematics Papers, the weightage of Differentiation & Integration is almost 30%!

We received feedback from students and parents that due to time constraint, many schools rush through these 2 very important topics, leaving many students totally lost in their understanding. This coupled with the fact that Differentiation & Integration are totally new concepts for all A-Math students, made matter worst.
So with less than 7 weeks to GCE O Levels are you equipped with the tools and strategies to score in Differentiation & Integration or are you facing problems in understanding the concepts?

4 Days Differentiation & Integration Mastery Workshop

5, 12, 19, 26 Sep 2009, 2 – 6pm, YMCA Orchard (Tentative venue)
