By Mr M Said12th September 2018

Dear parents and families

Students have now been introduced to ttrockstars.com . This is a fantastic online website dedicated to making times tables practice fun. Students can play competitively against each other or do some solo training.

Each week we ask students to earn at least 1000 coins.

Students have written down their usernames and passwords but please do email me if you would like a copy of their login details. ([email protected])

With this being students’ first week, the deadline to earn 1000 points is Friday 21st September. Students earn points more quickly if they play in the garage solo.

If students are stuck they can:

Class of 24 (Year 7) Maths Revision for test next Wednesday

By Mr M Said14th December 2017

All Year 7 students have a maths test on Wednesday next week on the learning target:

I can calculate the area of compound shapes.

They have each been given a set of revision sheets for practice. Some may have completed some of these questions in class, but it is worth repeating to ensure fluency. Students are able to use a calculator for these.

FOR BEGINNING/DEVELOPING – They need to be able to work with rectangles and triangles so these are the WORKOUT questions on the first two sheets.

FOR SECURE: They need to be able to work with compound shapes, so these are the WORKOUT questions on the third sheet.

FOR EXCELLENCE: They need to solve problems associated with area and compound shapes, so these are the APPLY questions on all three sheets.

On google classroom I have posted some videos to help. I have also posted copies of the sheets that they have been given too.
