Jean Kelly from Dublin's Institute of Education is here with six videos full of great advice and tips for Leaving Cert students preparing to sit the Maths Ordinary Level exam. Scroll down for all the videos!

Jean has a wide breadth of experience in teaching Leaving Cert Ordinary Level Maths to students of all abilities and has been teaching in The Institute of Education for over 10 years. Over that time, Jean has developed an unmatched track record in helping students through the Maths syllabus and brings a refreshing approach to the explanation, clarification and tuition of the Maths syllabus.
The Exam
Both Exam Papers: Timing & Marks - 2 and 1/2 Hours = 220 Marks

Do four out of six short 30-mark questions (20 mins per Q)

AND

Do two out of four long 50-mark questions (30 mins per Q)

This leaves 10 mins to read over the paper and ensure all parts are answered.
SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH ALL THE VIDEOS AND RESD THE NOTES BELOW Video 1
Algebra (20% of the syllabus) can pop into any question on both papers.
Fractions
Make sure to learn about factors, common factors, Lowest Common Denominator, and factorising.
There are THREE main types of questions asked on this topic:
i) Q. Write as a single fraction (adding & subtracting fractions)

ii) Q. Simplify (writing the answer in its simplest form)

iii) Q. Solve for x (solving equations involving fractions/looking for missing values where you could multiply the bottoms of each fraction or a common bottom by everything in the equation to get rid to the fractions first)

The three type is asked on the exam every year and getting to grips with fractions can improve your mathematical skills enormously.
Video 2
Trigonometry (usually pops up in a short 30-mark question and a long 50-mark question on paper 2)

Right-Angled Triangles: (90% of the battle is won if you learn how to label a triangles' sides according to its angles)
Know the main rules:

Theorem: 3 angles add to give 180 degrees

Labels of sides: a = opposite angle in Q, b = adjacent to or between the right-angle and the angle in Q and c = hypotenuse the longest side, opposite the 90-degree angle

Area = 1/2 the base times the perpendicular height

Pythagoras' Theorem: "The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides" Used to prove that a triangle is right-angled and to find the 3rd side of a triangle when we know the other two sides

Trigonometric Ratios: Using SinA, CosA and TanA to find lengths of sides (Need any angle and a side) and angles ( Need 2 sides)

Video 3
Co-ordinate Geometry (Line & Circle: Always 2 short questions on paper 2 which could account for 60/220 marks this year)

Equation of a Line & Circle: (Equation of a Line can be linked in with Algebra, Functions & Graphs, Calculus and Number Patterns on paper 1, Tangents also appear linked with the Circle on paper 2)

Finding the Equation of a Line requires a point (X1,Y1) or (O,c) and a slope, m (formulae are found on page 18 of the Log Tables given)

Finding the Equation of a Circle requires a centre point (h,k) and a radius length, r (formula found on page 19 of the Log Tables given)
Video 4
Area, Length, Nets & Volume (A topic that like Algebra, can pop up in almost any question on either paper, be prepared from Friday 5th)

Trapezoidal Rule: {Area is estimated to be equal to h/2 [1st + Last + 2(Sum of the remaining Vertical Lengths) ]}

It is easier to use this formula over the one in the Log Tables when using the Trapezoidal Rule to figure out the area of an irregular shape. We are not always looking for the area, we could also be asked to find one of the vertical lengths on the diagram or to find the interval width between the vertical lengths, h.

This rule regularly shows its face with Functions & Graphs on paper 1. Don't forget your maths sets because you could be asked to measure a few lengths on the diagram given. Careful labelling the 1st & Last vertical lengths on your diagram, it could cost a huge amount of marks.
Video 5
Calculus/Differentiation (A short topic on paper 1 that could potentially come up with Functions & Graphs, Algebra, Number Patterns and Financial Maths in 1/2 short 30-mark questions and 1/2 long 50-mark questions)

Equation of a tangent to a curve: (know how to get the equation of a Line; note that this will be asked with Max & Min turning points)

Tangents are Lines that touch off curves and circles, only at one point of contact.

You must have the Point of Tangency (X1 , Y1) and the slope, m of the Tangent to find its Equation

*Remember that the Slope of the curve = the Slope of the Tangent at the Point of Contact [f'(x) = m @ (X1 , Y1)]

Differentiate to find the average slope f'(x) of the curve (rate of change between two variables)
Video 6
Financial Maths (Both exam papers are riddled with Money & Basic Arithmetic questions, required for college and for life skills)

Simple & Compound Interest,% Growth/Decline (Appreciation & Depreciation): (Formula: page 30 Log Tables F = P( 1 + i ) t )

It's important to know and understand what each variable means in the formula and how this relates to everyday life.

Interest earned is a gain (% Growth/Appreciation in value) on the starting sum, it is a rate of change between two variables, namely time and money. Note that you could have a question where you must place a minus sign into the formula as your worth is depreciating in value!

This formula can be used to obtain any growth or decline, even in Population, therefore it's not solely used for Financial Maths. If you have a variable rate (AER- Annual Equivalent Rate), always use t = 1 but if it's a fixed rate, then t can be any number or length of time. [i = % (Rate) so should be out of 100]

As China's most famous attraction, the Great Wall of China is an essential stop on all China tours. Commonly considered a wonder of the world, the Great Wall boasts a history of over 2,000 years and stretches more than 3,000 miles across several provinces of northern China, making it one of the most impressive ancient structures on the planet.

Virtual Tour of the Great Wall of China

Best Sections to Visit

Beijing is usually considered the main gateway to the Great Wall, since there are several world-famous sections of the Wall in the suburbs of Beijing, including Badaling, Mutianyu, Jinshanling, Juyongguan, Gubeikou, and Jiankou. These sections were built during the Ming dynasty between the 14th and 17th centuries and have been well preserved.

Of all the sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, Badaling is the most famous one. As a result, Badaling is the destination of choice for many large tour groups and is often very crowded. The nearby Juyongguan Great Wall features one of the three great mountain passes of the Great Wall but is almost as crowded as Badaling.

Mutianyu Great Wall is just as close as Badaling and offers wonderful views of the Great Wall and the surrounding hills with far fewer tourists. This section of the Wall also features a thrilling toboggan run that you can ride from the top of the Wall down to the bottom of the hill.

Due to their proximity, Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu are all doable as a half-day trip from downtown Beijing. We usually recommend Mutianyu over Badaling or Juyongguan, since the massive crowds at the latter two sections can ruin one's experience of this impressive structure.

Further away from Beijing, Jinshanling Great Wall is about 150 km northeast of downtown and it usually takes about two and a half hours to drive there. Despite the longer drive, Jinshanling is among the most stunning sections of the Great Wall. If your itinerary allows for one full day seeing the Great Wall, then we highly recommend a tour to Jinshanling.

Gubeikou and Jiankou can also be visited within a day tour from Beijing. Both sections have not been restored since they were first built in the Ming Dynasty, making them ideal choices for those who want to hike and experience the wild Great Wall. Do be aware that the Jiankou section features very steep and dangerous climbs and is only suitable for experienced hikers.

There are also some other famous sections of the Great Wall within or outside Beijing, such as Huanghuacheng, Simatai, and Shanhaiguan, but we only recommend these if you are visiting the Great Wall for a second time or planning a multi-day, in-depth Great Wall tour.

Great Wall Hiking and Camping

Due to its original purpose as a military defense, almost all sections of Great Wall were built on mountain ranges and thus involve some challenging climbs and uneven stairs, including the well-restored sections. If you are visiting a restored section but hike to the end of the renovated part, you will be able to see the unrestored part of the Great Wall.

For most visitors, Mutianyu and Jinshanling offer good, medium difficulty hikes, while still being very safe. For those looking for a serious hike along wild, unrestored portions of the Wall, we suggest the Jinshanling to Jinshanling East, or Gubeikou to Jinshanling routes. All these routes boast both unrestored and picturesque renovated sections of the Wall. However, please be aware that hikes along wild, unrestored parts of the Great Wall involve many steep climbs and loose bricks, and can be very dangerous in some places. (People can no longer hike through from Jinshanling to Simatai since the route was closed years ago.)

Camping on the Great Wall is usually banned, especially on the renovated sections. If you want to spend a night sleeping on the Great Wall, we can take you to a watchtower on the Gubeikou section of the Great Wall to experience the life of an ancient soldier and catch amazing sunrise/sunset views over the Wall.

Best Time to Visit

For all sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, the spring months (April to June) offer temperate weather and are great for climbing. In late April to early May, many trees begin to blossom, making this a particularly beautiful period to visit the Wall. Fall is also a nice time to visit, as temperatures are usually comfortable. October to early November are particularly picturesque, as the tree leaves on the mountains begin to change color. The winter months, from December to February, are cold and can be windy, but there are usually far fewer tourists on the Wall during these months. July and August are hot and humid, and thus not the best for long hikes. In addition, it's best to avoid hiking on the Wall after rain or snowfall because some parts can get very slippery.

You should also avoid visiting the popular sections, such as Badaling, Juyongguan, and Mutianyu, around National Day (the first week in October) and Spring Festival. August is also a busy time for the Badaling and Juyongguan sections, since students are on summer vacation and many families travel to these famous sections with their kids before the new school year starts. Learn more about how to avoid the crowds when traveling in China.
