Session aim

• To present the first of the two

assignments

• For participants to consider what

further study they need to do before

they start assignment 1

Appendix 7

• The authenticity cover sheet must be

completed, signed and sent with both

assignments (see HO2 and HO3).

Basics

• Ensure your student number is on all

pages

• Pages should be numbered (so that we

know none have gone astray).

• Show all workings and add commentary

where appropriate (let the marker know

what you are doing).

Suggestions

Sketch out the question before you start

(what will help you?):

• A grid

• A sketch

• A table

This should gather all the information you

have been given.

Make a note of any assumptions you are

making.

Sending your work

If by post send it recorded delivery and

always keep a copy of everything.

You can email but make sure that:

• it is possible to read everything

• it is the correct way up and in the correct

order (remember to page number).

Assignment 1: Using

mathematics: personal and public

life

This first assignment is set in the

context of personal and public life.

Assignment 2 will be set in another
