Parents - Can you do it?

In maths we have been covering a variety of things but most students have a particular focus on geometry. We have done lots on area, perimeter, and volume.  Here are a couple of worksheets some students have been working on. Can you solve the problems? Ask your child if they can explain how to do it.

A number of students have been working with scale (Map scales, scale models, etc). They are currently drawing a scale floor plan of our classroom. They have to identify an appropriate scale and carefully measure angles on their drawing. They then have to identify the exact area of carpet and lino required for our floor.

Other students have been learning about equivalent fractions (fractions of equal value) and converting fractions to decimals. Parents make sure you ask your children to show you an example of what they have been learning.
