This week we spent two periods revising Area & Volumes and work done in S1 & S2 on Equations as a general reminder of some of the work that could be expected in the test.
We then went on to the topic Trigonometry with an introduction to the Tangent ratio and learnt how to operate the calculators properly to allow finding a missing side using the tangent ratio. The work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Shape – Trigonometry – Trig Missing Sides (although we only want to concern ourselves with the tangent ratio at this point).
The test will take place two weeks after the October break (week beginning 11th November) and the class will sit the National 4 Test, so the work covered in S1, S2 and S3 to date could appear in the test. The main topics are – Scientific Notation (Standard Form); Pythagoras & Trigonometry; Integers, Brackets & Equations; Angles & Scale Drawing; Speed / Distance / Time; Symmetry; Area & Volume and also Straight Line.
