Experience the Difference

ACMaths Guided Examples offer a better learning experience. Educational research has consistently shown that learning the processes for working exercises before tackling the exercises themselves provides better outcomes.

Learning the processes while working the exercises leads to what researchers call 'cognitive overload'. This means students are expending so much mental effort solving the exercises they fail to learn the processes. ACMaths Guided Examples concentrate on teaching the processes using an interactive approach. Some people call them interactive worksheets.

ACMaths Guided Examples encourage two good mental habits - look before you leap and check what you've done. Another benefit is, because the next step in a solution is hidden, they also help you avoid delusions of competence.

Now that you've read this far, the least you can do at this point is try it for yourself. Some practical advice here is to adopt a Zen attidude and just go with it.

Ways To Use The Samples

There are nine samples to choose from. You could pick any of

something you want to revise
something you're doing now
something that's coming up

Getting The Most Out Of The Samples

Review the lesson. Use the Slide View to break it up.
Use pen and paper to work through the examples provided in the lesson.
Work through the Guided Examples to see tips relating to specific question types. Note - the Guided Examples are an essential part of the lessons so don't skip them. They're also typical of the sort of questions you would expect to see in the exam.

About Printing

We have made no attempt to facilitate printing of either Lessons or Guided Examples. This is a deliberate omission on our part. Passive reading is one of the worst ways to learn maths and students should stop doing it.

A Note On Browsers

The math typesetting system used in these pages renders 100% correctly in late versions of Firefox (39+). In late versions of Chrome and Safari, rendering is about 99% correct. There is sometimes a superfluous vertical line to the right of a formula or symbol.

If you have a slow internet connection, you may see red 'Math error' notices where there should be a formula. If this happens it means some Javascript has not been loaded. To fix it, press 'Refresh' or F5 and the error messages should be replaced with equations.
