Math Calculus Set A 05 Differentiation Splitting the Fraction First

If you want to find my videos as topics in a playlist on Rumble, you can type in eg:
RobertPrestwidge Equation
RobertPrestwidge Trigonometry
RobertPrestwidge Fraction
Also Logs, Parabola, Quadratic, Index Laws, Exponents, Calculus, Surd, Order of Operations, Simultaneous Equations, Negatives, Trinomials, Factorising and many other Math topics.

You can also find me on Youtube where my videos are organised into Playlists ie Topics.

Students get mixed up in differentiating functions, especially with fractions, negatives and surds. These type of questions could use the 'Quotient Rule', but they work out 'nicely' by splitting the fractions. These questions can also often be given 'before' students learn the Quotient Rule.

This is invaluable revision and confidence building for 11 Methods / NSW Advanced.

After 40 years of enjoyable and rewarding teaching, I still love and continue to teach. It still amazes me how I continue to still think of better ways of teaching mathematical concepts and I also continue to discover methods of explaining things that help students 'better' understand and become more successful at remembering the concepts.

A word of warning from what I have repeatedly seen over the years - most of my videos are placed in a logical or reasonably sequential order and if you watch the first or second video in a playlist and feel comfortable with the concepts, please go to the last video in the playlist to check if you really are okay. Each video in a playlist usually becomes progressively more complex and the 'latter' or 'last' video will often contain common assessment questions where students are known to make errors.

I also often include some revision / consolidation / mixture videos in the playlist which I know are crucial to assist with student success in assessments.

I hope that you find this very helpful and a blessing in your studies.
