Friday 12th - Acid Rain

In groups of 2 or 3 (you may choose groups) you have to complete the following task:


As well as producing the required material, you also have to present the information in a PowerPoint presentation which can be shown to the rest of the class at the end of next Tuesdays lesson.

The Excel data can be accessed here.

A pdf version of the task is available from here.

Tuesday 9th October - Lesson

Today we have looked at the classification of shapes.

The sheet used in the lesson can be downloaded here (once uploaded).

We also looked at chapter 6, which covers quadrilaterals and triangles in more depth.

Homework - Due Tuesday 9th October

Complete 8 - 15 on HCF questions - Do HCF and LCM for all questions.
Complete Exercise D (all questions) a mixture of all questions looked at today.

Friday 5th October - Lesson

The lesson looked at indices.

We specifically looked at the rules for multiplying, dividing and raising a power to a power.

The following slides cover the lesson content:

Tuesday 2nd October - Lesson

We will be looking at Factors, Multiples, Prime Numbers, Prime Decomposition, Highest Common Factor and Lowest Common Multiple.

Factor - An integer (whole number) that divides exactly into another number.

e.g. factors of 10 are 1, 2, 5, 10.

Multiples - A Multiple is a number in the times table of another number.

e.g. Multiples of 10 are 10, 20, 30, 40 etc.

Highest common factor - The biggest number which is a factor of both numbers.

Lowest common multiple - The number which is the first to appear in both times tables.

Product of primes - Write a number as a product of prime numbers.

e.g. 10 = 2 x 5, 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5.

We can use primes to find HCF and LCM.

The HCF of 10 and 100 is 2 x 5 = 10 (product of their shared prime factors.
The LCM of 10 and 100 is 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 = 100 (product of all theor factors with shared factors only counted once).
