Weds OCt 24th - Critical Activities, Critical Events, Critical Path and Activity Float

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: You will discover how to find critical events & activies from a network and from these work out the critical path(s). You will also discover how to work out the total float of an activity

Tues 23rd Oct - Sketching Curves

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Discover how to sketch a cubic graph once it is in factorised form
SUCCESS CRITERIA: You will be able to sketch a quadratic curve by discovering its roots and +ve and -ve limits

LESSON: Look at plotting the following cubic graphs
  • y = (x-2)(x-1)(x+1)
  • y=(x-2)(1 - x))(1+x)
  • y = x(x+ 1)(x + 2)
  • Y=(x-1)2 (x+1)
