#ultimateworrier worries #9 - I worry, #ifitcomesup, that you’ll forget to plot the frequencies at the midpoints of the groups when plotting a frequency polygon. Then, join each point to the next, but don’t join the first and last points to one another!
#ultimateworrier worries #8 - I worry, #ifitcomesup, that you’ll forget to plot the cumulative frequencies at the end points of each group for a cumulative frequency curve - remember: cumulative frequency is just a running total of the frequencies
#ultimateworrier worries #7 - I worry, #ifitcomesup, that you’ll forget to draw and use a line of best fit on a scatter graph. Make sure you draw a line up/across to the line of best fit when estimating one variable, given the other
#ultimateworrier worries #6 - I worry, #ifitcomesup, that you’ll forget to put a key when drawing a stem and leaf diagram - this is usually worth a mark
#ultimateworrier worries #5b - I worry you won’t use the inverse functions of sin, cos and tan when finding a missing angle of a triangle - can you really have an angle sized 0.5632... #pressshift
#ultimateworrier worries #5 - I worry you won’t check your answer is ‘sensible’ before moving on - check what you’ve typed into your calculator - just in case your fat fingers have failed you! Will a man run at 120mph - probably not, check your calculations!
#ultimateworrier worries #3 - I worry your calculator won’t be in the right mode - if you’re unsure, get your maths teacher to check it before the exam. The invigilators aren’t allowed to do this for you (I believe)! This is particularly important for trigonometry questions!
