When you have completed the lesson, login and do the 'homework'.

ratio

Most of you have nearly completed Access 3 Numeracy. There are just a couple of things left to do. One of these is 'Ratio'.

Volumes of Cuboids and Prisms

Figure BBC Bitesize
If you were absent last week work through the lesson.
If you were here .. skip to the questions at the end.
Volume of cuboid
Volume of prism You do not need to do the cylinder.

Plans and Elevations

Sometime this is not as easy as it looks. Try this lesson - maybe you are good at this.

Here is a video of how to mix concrete. Are you able to do this?

Volumes of Cubes, Cuboids and Prisms

Last week you found the areas of rectangles and triangles. This week you will find the volume of objects which have end which are rectangles and traingles.
Workthrough two exercises in Mymaths. The first exercise is volumes of cuboids. The second exercise is volumes of prisms. Miss out the cylindrical prism (4) - we have not done circles yet. Does anyone know what the area of a circle is?

Concreting at Home

The floor of a garage is to be made of concrete. The company Alsafe Pre-Mix Concrete delivers concrete pre-mixed which will save a lot of effort. The amount of concrete ordered has to be worked out first. The table is used to for a simple garage base which is a cuboid.
Another company has on-line calculators for construction.

2D Shapes

Revision - Work through this exercise in MyMaths.
Now work through finding the area of rectangles (and shapes that can make up rectangles).
The next section is finding out the area of a triangle. Work through this one too.
Once you have completed the lesson have a go at the on-line homework. REMEMBER to use you personal login.

Game of the Day

Do not go to the game until you have completed all your work!!
This game is called Under Pressure. It is excellent - especially on the whiteboard.

Multiplying by 10 and 100

Start off by doing the lesson in Mymaths. It is just to wake the brain up.

Then you will show me how YOU subtract. I am old so I am a 'borrow carry baby'.
Then Have a go at this subtraction exercise in MyMaths - without a calculator.

Happy New Year!

Today was the first Numeracy lesson of the New Year. I enjoyed watching your brains get back in gear after the holiday. We used MyMaths to do 'Doubling and Halving' and then went onto Money. After doing the lessons you used your individual passwords to do the on-line homework.
