Simulations
These Subtangent resources contain a standard form calculator which will quickly change ordinary numbers into standard form and vice versa.
There is also a simulation for probability outcomes involving coins and dice, as well as an interactive animation to demonstrate placement of the median and quartiles of a distribution.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
Standard Form Calculator
This animation from Subtangent provides the facility for students to convert very large or very small numbers to and from standard form notation. Examples of converting ordinary numbers into standard form notation are given and include negative index terms. HEALTH and SAFETY Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity…
Median and Quartiles
This animation from Subtangent offers a visual representation of median heights. Students have to order a set of cartoon people according to their height and then use the baseline button, which allows the selection to be checked and the heights read accurately from the vertical axis. Three arrow heads can then be added to the…
Coins and Dice
This probability simulator from Subtangent allows experiments with coins and dice to be performed quickly. Students can choose from seven options, including whether to use one coin or two, one or two dice or a combination of both. The simulation displays the results of the experiments but does not summarise them which means…
