We finished the topic Speed/Distance/Time in particular using the appropriate formula for calculating these. This is on the MyMaths website under Library – Shape – Measure – Speed, and we also looked at Distance/Time Graphs. Library – Algebra – Graphs – Distance-Time Graphs. The pupils were once again asked to learn/revise how to convert common fractions into decimal form and how these relate to converting time from hours into minutes in order to perform various calculations. The class were reminded of how to perform these sorts of calculations without a calculator, as the test next week would be without a calculator.
The class were reminded that there would be one period of revision then the test (without a calculator) on the following topics – Multiples, Factors & Primes; Powers & Roots; Pythagoras; Estimation & Rounding; Angles & Scale Drawings; Areas of compound shapes, Surface Area & Volume; Speed/Distance/Time; Scientific Notation; Circles as well as Patterns & Relationships. Previous work in S1 & S2 could also be tested.
