More information
This On Demand course will give a comprehensive coverage of FMU6 and is aimed at teachers who currently deliver AS-level Further Maths and would like to deliver A-level Further Maths, or teachers who currently teach FMU6 and would like a refresher.
The topics covered will include:
Impulse and Momentum | Impulse and momentum as vector quantities. Coefficient of restitution Oblique impacts of identically sized smooth spheres Impulsive Tensions |
Moments and Centres of Mass | Moments Centre of mass of system of particles Centre of mass of simple laminas |
Statics | Centres of mass of laminas and solids using integration Further Statics |
Differential Equations in Mechanics | Using differential equations in Mechanics Introducing Simple Harmonic Motion The Kinematics of Simple Harmonic Motion |
Oscillations | Examples of Simple Harmonic Motion Incomplete Oscillations Damped Oscillations Forced Oscillations |
This new On Demand approach is a flexible, online study option, that uses a variety of learning constructs such as tutor-led lecture videos and work pack resources to build up your skills and cement your understanding.
On Demand gives you the flexibility to study when and where you want; lunchtimes, free lessons or at home and at your own pace. There is no start or end date – that is in your hands and you can study in this manner over more than one academic year.
You will be enrolled to a monitored Microsoft Teams channel where fill instructions will guide you through the course at your own pace.
There is opportunity in the Teams channel to collaborate with others doing the course and a forum where you can discuss issues and pedagogy of the topics.
To encourage active participation in the course, a programme of certification is being introduced: certificates will be issued to participants who complete the course and demonstrate their understanding of the concepts and their teaching through a programme of short assignments at the end of each session. This is explained in the Teams channel.
We hope you enjoy the course and that it compliments and contributes to your personal development programme.
