I am a regular user of Desmos but have never done circle geometry on there. Can you do it on there? Are there any other recommended circle geometry programs out there worthy of having a look at?

For me: 2014- Never heard of it 2015- Never Heard of it 2016-Once a Year 2017- Monthly I kind of regret not using it earlier,would have enhanced my learning a lot quickly.

I've just realised how much the New Century books from Yrs 9-10 make heavy empahsis on the Geogebra software. Have any students here used it on regular basis during their high school years? For me I definitely found that doing and designing the circles improved my understanding of circle...

WSU students must be spewing that their university isn't a choice listed.

How many hours a week would you hire a tutor for in English ? Do you need someone to constantly review your draft and better structure your work along the way? I admit I did get one of the top tutors for a university history unit and without it, I wouldn't have passed. (Well in that particular...

Re: International Baccalaureate Marathon Yep thanks for your response. I did some vector cross product before , a large chapter was devoted to that in Calculus Stewart book. I remember when I did 2nd year Engineering, I spent a lot of time doing those questions. It's a very efficient way of...

Re: International Baccalaureate Marathon I'm aware that there was a slight error with my working out but in terms of 'method' of getting to the answer, there are 2 methods in order to get to the right answer. Would my method be suitable in order to answer a question like this, whether it be...

Re: International Baccalaureate Marathon OK yep I see it should be 0.8192 metres and 0.65536 metres

Re: International Baccalaureate Marathon This is a Band 7 IB question (equivalent to a HSC Band 6 aiming for 95%+ on paper) With regards to (b) , would it be OK to not write the answer involving sequences? i.e doing it manually in order to get the marks $ The following was the solution: $...

Has anyone here studied at Bradfield College before? I would love to come back and do English extension as an adult. Feel like if you could master that level of English it would give you the world of confidence in anything related to English. Also over time I've appreciated the English language...

Is it possible to say move to a lower ranked school to fulfill your goal of doing higher ranked subjects? I am acutely aware that all schools want to protect their rankings. Has anyone been a position or know of any , whereby you could take a subject against the schools discretion? In my...

I have 2 students that I tutor in Year 10, one is in 5.2 and the other girl is a 5.3 she had a splendid 2016. (Got 141/150 in her exams-ranked 5th or 6th in her school for that subject). The difference between the 2? The girl is super motivated (also seems less well off) at a mid 60's ranked...

I was just making an example if a subject wasn't offered , what would be the choices for a student? For eg if a subject like Maths Extension 2 wasn't offered at a particular school?
