We started the topic Fractions & Percentages. Depending upon which textbook a pupil was working from, then they might have been finding a fraction of an amount; simplifying fractions; changing percentages to a fraction or a decimal or vice versa;…

We continued the topic Equations & Expressions. We finished the booklet Balancing 1 which is basically solving equations. This can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Equations Linear – Simple Equations. A homework sheet was…

We continued the topic Equations & Expressions. We finished the booklet Doing & Undoing before doing some more Problem Solving work related to this. Next we went onto a booklet Balancing 1 which is basically solving equations. This can be…

We continued the topic Equations & Expressions. We were working on Function Machines and Discovering Rules from a table of values. We then started a booklet Doing & Undoing.

We finished the topic Decimals with further calculations involving decimals and the class handed in a homework on Decimals. We also spent a period on more Problem Solving with the class working in pairs to solve a number of different…

We continued the topic Decimals with more practice on multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100 before moving onto multiplying & dividing a decimal number by a whole number and then onto rounding decimal numbers. This can be found on…

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.…

We did more work on Problem Solving – be systematic, with the class challenged to find as many triangles in a diagram as they possibly could by being systematic (the target was over 70). We then started the topic Decimals…

This week, we continued the topic Symmetry – reflection and rotation symmetry before also covering tesselations/tilings. We also did a bit of work on Problem Solving – trial & error. We will do more work on some other problem solving strategies…

With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work. We started recapping work on the topic Symmetry – reflection. The class submitted a homework on symmetry to demonstrate their prior knowledge. Some individuals encountered some difficulty with this, but hopefully…
