**Week 6 24/5 - 28/5** Students have been working on area and perimeter, unfortunately i have been ill so apologies for not updating this site and not setting much homework recently. Students graphs and data assignments are now over due. Homework: Monday (24/5) students need to complete the code on page 312 of their text book, it is due Thursday 27/5.

Students are working on a graphs and data assignment this week. For homework on Monday they are to ensure their frequency distribution tables are ruled and ready to use on Tuesday. Their homework for Tuesday is to tally up their results from their surveys done in class. On Thursday they are doing their graphs on a computer and their homework is to reflect on their results and finish their assignment.
 * Week 4**

We will be having a test on Thursday to finish fractions. Students have been asked to do some revision questions from the chapter review section at the end of chapter 3. Focusing on their weaknesses. I have left it up to students what questions they do, though i would strongly recommend question 12 as adding and subtraction seems to be a big weakness. They should do about 3 or 4 questions depending on size. On Tuesday we are having a revision class and students will learn how to write a revision sheet.
 * Week 2**

This week we have been working on fractions. Students were asked to complete 3D Questions 1 - 8 on Monday about adding and subtracting fractions, this was set for students to finish for homework by Thursday. Please remind students that to add or subtract fractions the bottom numbers (denominators) need to be the same. On Tuesday we looked at multiplying fractions and completed 3E questions 1, 2, 5 and 7. If students forget they just have to multiply the top two numbers and multiply the bottom two numbers, don't forget to simplify. On Thursday students looked at dividing fractions, they are to leave the first fraction, change the divide to a multiply sign and flip the second fraction upside down. Then multiply as we learnt on Tuesday. Students are to complete 3F Questions 1, 5 and 6. The homework for maths is that students complete the questions set during the week as there were a lot of questions and fractions is a very important in mathematics. I will be checking on Monday 19th April in class.
 * Week 1**


 * __TERM 1__**

We are continuing our work on fractions this week. On Monday students looked at simplifying fractions and were given a fractions worksheet for homework. On Tuesday we are looking at converting improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. Students will be asked to complete exercise 3C Q4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in class. On Thursday we will be looking at adding and subtracting fractions and students will be given Questions from exercise 3D Q 1 - 8 to complete. Students will also be given a small worksheet to complete over the holidays, if they get stuck please refer them to pages 100 - 106 for help and it is ok to be unsure. If they are still unsure they can do as much as they can and come and see me for help next term.
 * Week 8**

Students have started work on fractions this week. We looked at comparing and equivalent fractions. On Tuesday students were set exercise 3A questions 1, 4, 5, 7 and 8 for homework.
 * Week 7**

Students worked on factors, multiples, primes this week. On Friday students were given a worksheet to complete over the weekend.

__Week 5__
This week we looked at multiples, factors and prime numbers. Students are to complete 2C Q1, 2, 3, 10, 11 and 2D Q1, 2, 6 and 7 over the weekend. Students also sat a mini test on Monday so that we could map their progress. Some students need a bit more help with multiplication and division but overall they did well. Students have been asked to re-do two questions from the test that they got wrong and see if they can do it correctly second time around.

We have finished our introduction to number looking at addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and B.O.D.M.A.S. We are having a test on Monday 1st March to see how we progressing. The homework for the weekend which is due on Monday 1/3 is: Chapter review pg 45, Q1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16.
