4B4 – week ending 6th September

We continued to refer to the summary of the topics in each Unit of Mathematics – National 4 and kept the focus on the first Unit test (Expressions & Formulae) the week beginning 16th September.

This week we completed the geometric skills aspect – Surface Area & Volume of Prisms as well as covering Rotational Symmetry. The pupils were reminded that many aspects of this was revision of work covered in S1 and S2. We then moved onto simple Statistics (again revision this time of S3 work), and the class reminded about Mean, Median and Modal values (a nonsense rhyme was provided to aid with memory of these).

The class were given a homework on the Mymaths website (All Averages) with a deadline of Thursday 12th September for completion.

3A6 – week ending 6th September

This week we continued the topic Angles and practiced drawing angles using angle measurers. We also had a recap of the basic angle facts that everyone should be aware of before moving onto other facts relating to angles – especially X, F & Z Angles (Vertically Opposite, Corresponding and Alternate) and knowing how to spot them by looking for parallel sides for two of them.

2A1 – week ending 6th September

With changes in the department staff, the class now has me as a teacher again for two periods a week. Myself and Miss Brown have split the topics up so that it is easier to keep track of what work needs to be completed.

As such, the class did some revision of the topic Equations and the work covered in S1.

The class finished the topic Number. We were doing rounding to whole numbers, 10 and 100.

We then started the topic Angles and began by recapping what was covered in primary school so that we were able to plan what was required to ensure everyone has a good understanding of the basics of the topic.
