Maths - revealing the solution
Revealing the solution one line at a time to show the students how to solve the problem. Their only complaint that I reveal the answer just after they have done that bit. At least they know they are correct so far
Simple Harmonic Motion
Playing with my favourite topic simple harmonic motion today, using a
