We went on to the topic Scientific Notation/Standard Form which carries on some of the work done in the Powers topic. The class learnt how to change from very large or small numbers into scientific notation and vice versa. This is on the MyMaths website under Library – Number – Standard Form – Standard Form Large and Standard Form Small.
We then went onto the topic Patterns & Relationships with a reminder of some work done in S1 on finding a pattern for a given sequence of numbers as well as generating numbers in a given sequence. This can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Sequences – Sequences and also nth Term.
The class had a homework due on Friday 31st January on the Mymaths website (Speed)
The class were reminded that there would be a Test week beginning 17th February – one period of revision then the test 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.
