Body paragraphs:
1 Introduction
-States briefly what your repot will explore
-Written in future tense
-Written in third person
-States the context of the assignment: anyone should be pick up the assignment and be able to work out what the task sheet said without reading the task sheet.
1.2 Procedure
-Write in dot-points or numbered steps
-Include the mathematical techniques and how data points have been determined.
-Be succinct, precise, not vague ( Anyone should be able to use your procedure to repeat the investigation)
2 Considerations
2.1 Observations and assumptions
-at least two for each. They need to be documented (documented means you need to explain how your observations/ assumptions affects or relates to your task).
2.2 Mathematical concepts and techniques briefly talk about this, the detailed version should be in your solve/verify part.
-Define your variables: What are the x and y intercepts represents (Time in seconds? Height in metres?...). And State the independent and dependent variable: The variable on the x-axis is the independent variable and the variable on the x-axis is the dependent variable.
-Domain and range
- Piecewise function if your roller coaster is compose by more than one graphs.
- Transformations? Eg: Negative parabola. / Fitting data?... GO to Chapter 6 to find relevant mathematical concepts
2.3 Use of technology also, just briefly talk about it
3 Developing a solution
-Do not worry about whether your final solution is or is not correct, however you need to make sure your solving steps are clear and using mathematical language.
4 Evaluation to verify results
4.1 Verify your results
- For example, discuss Is your result logical? Does it make sense in a real life context?
4.2 Justified statements about the reasonableness of the solution by considering the assumptions. And justified statements about the reasonableness of the solution by considering the observations.
- For example, if you assumed something has no impact/effect, does this reflect reality? What might that impact be?
4.3 Strengths and limitations
-At least two for each.
