I saw a pic this week of an adaptation of the “maths” periodic table and so me, being me I asked if Claire would be happy for me to share …. yay!! She was!! … and has even done a little intro … so Ladies & Gents … from Claire Mazurkiewicz (on Twitter as @MrsMazzy) who is Head of Maths at The Trinity Catholic School in Apsley, Nottingham ..
Here is my A-level twist on the excellent periodic tables display resources. I have always found it difficult to think of or find good resources for A level classrooms and they can often end up looking a bit boring, but I noticed an English version of this idea in our A level block and it got me thinking about creating a maths one. I then came across the ones already on JustMaths and just tweaked them a little to create this one. I hope people like it. I think using bright colours helps! If anyone wants to add to it, or alter the wording slightly feel free, I’m sure there’s a lot more we could add in.

Lovely idea, I must say! It serves to neatly group concepts that are similar in nature or close by subject-wise. A few points:
1. I am not entirely sure whether |x| should be in the same group with log, exp and ln. Having said that, I can’t find a more appropriate group out of those on offer. Could there be a new group with just that in it?
2. In the group that contains log, exp and ln, I would add the square root or the nth root of x. I might even add x to a fractional power m/n.
3. A suggestion for a new group would be that of sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, cosec.
Thank you so much. This is brilliant!
Amazing! Thank you
