= Investigating Nets =

1. On a word doc write the shapes (eg: rectangle, triangle etc) that were used to make up your net 2. Can you write down number of faces, edges and points (vertices) from your polydron? 3. What problems did you come across when you put your net together to make your polyhedron. 4. Investigate another polyhedran you would like to make next time in class and write down what shapes are in the net to make it and start thinking about where you would put the tabs etc. when you put it together. Do you know the number of faces, edges and points (vertices) i it takes to make that shape? (Click here to learn about faces, edges and vertices:[])
 * We will be be investigating the nets (polyhedron) you have been making in class.**
 * It may have been a cube, triangle based pyramid, square based pyramid or octohedran etc.**

Use these websites to help you: [] [] []

We will be working from the [|Maths.com website]
 * Algebra Revision for test, 30 Oct:**

Click on the first of these headings, work through the problems a few times (trying to better yourself) then try the next set: [|Solving equations] [|Writing equations] [|Like terms] [|Exponents (powers)]

If you think you have finished. See me, you may be allowed to do maths games, try out this site: []

= HOMEROOM 18 OCTOBER = We will be working from an interactive website where you answer you questions online: Start by clicking [|here] (click just under the black numbers to start) This one is a harder [|here] Try this one adding up to [|one hundred] Now try this [|test] Here are two lots of word problems to try out: [|one] [|two] Try some of these games: [|spooky sequences] [|dot to dot] [|shark pool place value] [|life guards] **Tues, 18 Sep 2012** Today we will continue 'multiplying' (which we started yesterday). Start by completing this sheet (either in your book or on a word doc. OR print it):

Now go to this [|website] and read through the notes carefully TWICE. Try to answer the questions (note that there are 100 pence in a pound), then do the activity and test at the bottom of the web page.

Those of you who can find any games or activities that will be useful for this topic will get a merit (or prize if it's REALLY good!)
**Tues, 11 Sep 2012** Today we will continue adding and subtracting 'like terms'. Remember you can only add/subtract terms that are the same (eg: all the a's or all the numbers). Start by working on this worksheet:

THEN, we are looking at this [|website] that looks at Algebra. Read through the notes and try the question. THEN, at the bottom of the page is a 'test' have a go at it :)

Once you've done that check out any of the other activities and games on that page.

**Wed, 15 Aug 2012,** Division is simply the opposite of multiplying: Eg, if we know that 3 x 5 = 15 so 5 x 3 = 15 we also know that 15÷3 = 5 AND 15÷5 = 3

These are also known as 'family of facts' (so there are four equations in each one).

Write the 'family of facts' for the following (you should write 4 equations for each - like the ones above) Do it on a word doc. by copy and pasting the work below and then completing it (see me if you're not sure how to do that:

Here's an example of what you need to do: a) 2 x 3 = 6, 3 x 2 = 6, 6 ÷ 3 = 2, 6 ÷ 2 = 3.

1. 3 x 4 = 12

2. 6 x 5 = 30

3. 7 x 4 = 28

4. 6 x 7 =

5. 8 x 9 =

6. 2 x 8 =

7. 4 x 6 =

8. 10÷2 = 5

9. 18÷3 = 6

10. 72÷9 =

Now you can work on Maths games on the site "cool maths games" or check out some of the Maths games below. Add some to earn yourself a merit!
**Thursday, 19 July 2012**

**Write your answers into your maths book or on a word doc.**

1. We will start by working on the following basic fractions sheet (in your book or onto a word doc.):

Now practice your skills playing this **[|ORDERING FRACTIONS GAME]** and this **[|SIMPLYING FRACTIONS GAME]**


 * Friday, 20th July 2012**

1. Now we're going to work on comparing fractions (some of you would have started this yesterday). Answer the following worksheet (in your book or word doc.)

Now practice your skills playing this [|GAME] 2. Now we are doing percentage work (highlight the answers OR do them in your book).



Now practice your skills playing this [|PERCENTAGE GAME]

If you have finished take a look at the other games on the website we've been working on.


 * GAMES**

Now you can explore what 'Cool Maths' has to offer in the way of fractions - have a go at as many as you can! Click here for [|Cool Maths]

If you have any other fraction games add them to our wiki on this page (if you're not sure how to add it ask a friend or me :)

**10 November 2011 - Statistics**

We are going to start Statistics. Using the internet you can research Stats words you are unfamiliar with (eg: population, sample size, median, mode etc.) and also start __work__ on a project. You can work in 2's (no more than 3) but you each must have you own copy of the work you complete.

**We are going to be working on a project from this link:**

[]

Under 'RESOURCES' you will need to read the 'resource sheet' and 'student worksheet' so you know what to do (the 'teacher instruction may be useful too). It may also __pay__ to do some research on the key ideas they've provided. Those who do and pop them on our Statistics page in this weekly will receive Merits and maybe even prizes depending on your information :)

**Today (Fri, 30 Sep) we are continuing to practice our algebra skills using the following links:**

First link (Balancing the equation and then click "next" to go onto more complex equations : http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/algebra/equations1/revise3.shtml

For those who find the above too easy try some of the activities on this link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/maths/algebra/equations2/revise1.shtml

Now try this game - Whack Attack (let me know what you think) [] There are other games on this site so have a go at them too :)

 * Designing Toy Cars Requires Math! **Every Hot Wheels car is exactly 1/64 the size of the real car it’s modeled on. Show your students how a professional toy car designer for Mattel relies on basic math concepts such as fractions, measurement and scale to create accurate replicas of the coolest cars on the road.
