Many students find proving of identities hard to do. Upon further questioning, I realised the following issues the students faced: 1. Many of them need the formula sheet in front of them to be able to apply 2. Some does not know where to start, LHS? RHS? 3. Some like to expand the expressions and so it becomes more complicated.
I intend to resolve this by going through with them using examples on the different apporaches to solve such identities, which will be given to the students before the Term End.

It is ok for them to have the formula sheet with them since there are so many formulae that they need to know. However, need to stress to them which formulae will not be given in the exam.
