GCSE: Maths Essays, Coursework and Assignments

"This essay displays a well balanced presentation of facts, core arguments and ongoing evaluation of the different perspectives and viewpoints."

"WOW '.'"

"V. good :P"

"#1# This piece of coursework superbly explores the gradient of basic polynomial curves. The argument posed is logical, and diagrams and screenshots of excel are used to support this argument. #2# The analysis in this piece is strong. I liked how they begin by trying to work out the gradient of a function at a point, and then showing the understanding that this isn't accurate enough. They use plenty of excel screenshots to give evidence for their hypothesis, but what I really liked was the proof by first principles (shown under the more about calculus section). Using and understanding limits at GCSE level shows high level analysis and I imagine showing this technique will help secure top marks in any piece of coursework. This piece of coursework even goes further to understanding how differential equations and integration may be useful in a real-life application. If I were to make one suggestion, it would be to explore the notation a bit further. #3# This piece of coursework is structured well, and spelling and grammar are strongly utilised. Although pieces of formal coursework are becoming less common in mathematics at GCSE, I would note that this piece could be made more sophisticated by removing the frequent use of the first person. Other than that, it should be admired!"
