Animations For A Level

Last calendar week I presented on H5N1 score resources at Stuart Price's 'Maths inwards the Sticks' event. I spoke briefly virtually how nosotros tin purpose animations to back upwards our explanations of mathematical concepts. Many teachers already brand purpose of programmes such every bit Geogebra, Autograph together with Desmos, but hither I'm talking specifically virtually animated gifs that teachers tin merely glue into a PowerPoint. Gifs run on a loop together with thus students tin picket them for a while, providing 'thinking time' inwards the lesson together with allowing novel ideas to click into place.

I purpose gifs amongst physical demonstrations where possible, for instance when I instruct Volume of Revolution I exhibit animations together with purpose newspaper props besides (see Gems 45).

So where tin you lot operate yesteryear away animated maths gifs? H5N1 Google Images search is usually sufficient but in that location are a few websites you lot powerfulness similar to cheque out:

Here are exactly about examples of gifs suitable for H5N1 level. You tin re-create them straight into PowerPoint. Some are to a greater extent than helpful than others - picket each animation for a infinitesimal together with arrive at upwards one's hear whether you lot mean value it adds whatever value.
