This week we started the topic Speed / Distance / Time with a recap of time intervals, 12 & 24 hour clock notation and how to read timetables.
We spent a period revising some of the work covered in S2 on Integers as part of continual practice of Non-Calculator Skills.
This week we continued the topic Equations with solving equations and the class were reminded of the need to check their answers. We had extra practice on multiplying out single brackets.
If anyone needs extra practice, the work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Algebraic Manipulation, as well as Equations – Linear.
This week we continued the topic Equations – multiplying out single brackets and simplifying. This then led onto equations with brackets. The class were reminded of the need to check their answers.
If anyone needs extra practice, the work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Algebraic Manipulation, as well as Equations – Linear.
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 in the forthcoming weeks.
With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work.
This week we continued the topic Differentiation and Chapter 6. We finished up to Exercise 6Q. The class were reminded that they need to have mastered the Standard Grade work on Fractions, Indices and Factorising.
The class handed in homework 6 on Differentiation – this will also provide the pupils with a good indicator of how well they are coping with the topic as the basic competence NAB test is scheduled for the week beginning the 30th September.
The class were issued with a Practice NAB to be completed by Friday 27th September when we will go through it all with guidance on the threshold scores and how the marks are awarded.
With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work.
The class sat the Unit Test on Expressions & Formulae.
We then started Unit 2 – Relationships, beginning with Straight Line which they had encountered in S3. We began using the new textbooks that arrived last week (TeeJay Publishers – National N4-2).
With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work.
We continued the topic Area – area of a triangle. We then went on to deal with area of composite shapes.
The class submitted a homework on Area & Perimeter which we then went over to ensure that everyone knew how to tackle every single question and could learn from their mistakes.
With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work.
This week we continued the topic Equations – multiplying out single brackets as well as simplifying expressions with brackets.
If anyone needs extra practice, the work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Algebraic Manipulation, as well as Equations – Linear.
With the Forest Walk and holiday, a short week for class work.
This week we continued the topic Equations recapping the work done in S1. We had extra practice on multiplying out single brackets. The class were issued a homework on simple equations due by Wednesday 25th September.
If anyone needs extra practice, the work can be found on the MyMaths website under Library – Algebra – Algebraic Manipulation, as well as Equations – Linear.
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 once we have completed the topic they will understand the topic much better.
Next week we will continue with reflection and rotation symmetry before also covering tesselations/tilings.
