In #MathsToday I made 40 A Level teachers colour in representations of the binomial distribution.

This is your regular reminder that if you teach #ALevelMaths you should definitely try to join your local Maths Hub’s A Level Pedagogy group. There is some brilliant stuff going on all over England.

A quartet of representations of the binomial distributions. Screenshots from https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3ea50eafbc

X ~B (10, 0.4)
Shade the diagrams to represent the probability
P(3 ≤X <6)
and draw a numberline.

X~B(10,0.4)
Shade the diagrams to represent the probability P(3 ≤ X < 6) and draw a
numberline.

X ~ B(8, 0.7)
Which is larger:
P(X < 5) or P(X = 6)?

X~B(12,0.36)
P(X ≥ c) < 0.5
What is the smallest possible value of c?

X~B(10,0.4)
Calculate the interquartile range of this distribution.
What is the mode?

X~B(8, 0.7)
P(X ≤ a) < 0.1
What is the largest possible value of a?
P(X ≥ b) < 0.1
What is the smallest possible value of b?

X~B(12,0.36)
P(X ≤ a) < 0.2
What is the largest possible value of a?
P(X ≥ b) < 0.2
What is the smallest possible value of b?

Want to get serious about your A level results? Get serious about maths. Students who do maths at A level do better overall in all other subjects

Need an enrolment test for your incoming Year 12s? We've got plenty! It's a great way of making sure that students are algebra-ready and identifying those needing support sooner rather than later.
Just visit the Dropbox at b.link/gcsetoalevel and look for Edexcel, MEI, Integral, Resourcaholic, Sparx

MATHS TEACHERS: If you’re seeking ways to add quirky ‘real world’ maths to lessons next year I’ve updated my blog index robeastaway.com/blog/blog-in... .
You can use it to find odd applications of (say) quadratic equations. It’s the sort of thing you might use as a lesson starter (1/3) #TMiP25
