This week we continued with the Relationships Unit on equations with solving simple equations (albeit sometimes with negative numbers as the solution), and the class were reminded of the need to check their answers. This led onto simplifying expressions with brackets…
This week we continued the topic Speed / Distance / Time with a mixture of calculating Speed, Distance or Time, before looking at Distance-Time Graphs. The work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Shape – Measures – Speed,…
This week finished the topic Fractions & Percentages continuing with how to switch between fractions to percentages to decimals and vice versa from many common values. We then moved onto fractions – simplifying, equivalent and converting from mixed numbers to…
This week we finished the topic Equations with extra practice on multiplying out single brackets including negative multipliers as well as equations with fractions and the class were reminded of the need to check their answers. If anyone needs extra practice, the…
This week we continued with the topic Decimals with extra practice on adding and subtracting decimals, before moving onto multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. This can be found on the Mymaths website under Library – Number – Decimals.…
This week the class sat their Unit 1 – NAB which test the pupils at the basic competence for the topic and gives a good indicator of how well they are coping. This was followed by a period finishing off…
We continued Unit 2 – Relationships, Straight Line and investigated negative gradients. We were using the new textbooks that arrived two weeks ago (TeeJay Publishers – National N4-2). We were able to see the formula generalising Straight Lines. This led onto the…
This week we continued the topic Speed / Distance / Time which had been done in S2 but we had more practice of using the various formulae to calculate distance, speed and time. We spent another period revising some of…
