THE ACTUAL INVESTIGATION FLASHCARDS

Introduction

• Describe problem

• clarify terminology

• Relevant details needed to perform investigation

• What information has been provided with this task?

• What information will I need to pursue?

• what decisions can be made and what conclusions can be stated?

• AIM OF THE INVESTIGATION

Method

Step by spes

Draw diagrams (Use ruler!!)

Results

What does it show

what have you learnt

is your assumption true

Conclusion

• Summarise WHOLE task

• Reflect on the process

• Discuss how valid your results are

• How can you improve

What do you need to know in general

Assume teacher knows nothing

With the problem you should clarify

Terminology and describe problem in own words

additional stuff

draw diagrams and state all rules

what about your findings

Summarize them and see if there valid

Will reader understand

• investigation about

• trying to find out

• how you got answer

• what you have found

Conclusion

In conclusion go through the tools that you need

in conclusion, write why your points are important

Process

Define terms that wouldn’t be clear,

now work towards solving the problem and state what you would need to do (times or multiply)

show the process and state why you would need those tools that you need to do for certain things

Introduction

-the audience needs to know why you are doing what you are doing and what you’re trying to accomplish-

-introduce problem and then how you are going to solve it-

the aims of the investigation,

Reasonableness

• Is the solution valid?

• Does this solution solve the task?

• Is the solution both, efficient and optimal?

Comparison of SI and CI

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal (that is, the initial amount) so the amount of interest being added to a loan or investment remains constant or fixed. Compound interest is interest earned on the principal amount plus interest on the interest already earned.

Introduction

Recognises the need to systematically determine at least three values in order to look for patterns

Assumptions

the interest rate does not vary for the duration of an investment, and no deposit or withdrawal is made

Findings

Makes some comparison

Discusses accuracy of the new rule and adjusts if necessary

Demonstrates use of the new rule
