FHSST-Maths: April Progress Report

[Sam Halliday]

hi everyone,

we got quite a bit done this month, well done to everyone who has  
sent their bit to me for April. here is the summary and some feedback  
for you

Differentiation:
  Clare has completely updated the old notes! and added figures..  
well done!

Patterns:
  Frans added some examples and analogies. these are great frans,  
but i am slightly concerned about the setting... remember our target  
audience isn't all city kids. in fact quite the opposite... so using  
cinemas/restaurants/email as examples may not be the optimal thing to  
say. could you please reword the examples to be more generic? if you  
can, please do what the syllabus says and have them "in the context  
of HIV/AIDS, labour disputes, human rights, social, economical,  
cultural, political and environmental issues." sorry... its in the  
syllabus! :-D

Linear Equations:
  Riana has sent me the RTF for this... good work! i like the  
examples and the way you build stuff up stage at a time. though it  
might be best to say "foo's friend, bar" instead of "your friend  
joseph". i don't know a joseph! :-) i always think it is good  
practice to do a "with numbers" version of every equation below any  
one which is "just letters". i haven't added this yet as i'm still  
waiting for the LaTeX, but well done!

Numbers:
  I added the much needed arithmetic section and am currently  
editing this furher with helen. shes already given me a red-penned  
version and i need to transcribe it

cheers,
Sam
