Try it yourself: a Variation sequence
In this step, we introduce a sequence of tasks from a textbook that is designed with many of the Asian maths principles in mind. We ask you to do the following:
-
First, look at the three pages below (pdfs are at the bottom of the step) to get a sense of the sequence of tasks.
-
Now complete the tasks. How have the principles of Variation been applied?
-
If you would like, you can comment on this article or you can add copies or scans of your solutions to this padlet.
-
We provide our own solutions in the next step.
-
Finally, you can watch the video, where we narrate the whole process in the light of Variation theory.
